Minimally Invasive Approach for Non-Infectious Partial Sternal Dehiscence after Cardiac Surgery Using Sternal Talon Titanium Implants
Abstract
Postoperative non-infectious sternal dehiscence is a rare, but relatively favorable complication following cardiac surgery. The article describes the surgical technique and presents a series of cases of surgical treatment of non-infectious partial sternal dehiscence using Sternal Talon titanium implants. The advantages of Sternal Talon are the large thickness of the device at the sternum grip (reduces the risk of cutting through the bone), reliable and rigid fixation, as well as ease of use. Delayed (several months) osteosynthesis reduces the risk of complications due to the elimination of perioperative factors associated with the index surgery.
