Review of Biomechanical Studies and Finite Element Modeling of Sternal Closure Using Bio-Active Adhesives

The most common complication of median sternotomy surgery is sternum re-separation after sternal fixation, which leads to high rates of morbidity and mortality. The adhered sternal fixation technique comprises the wiring fixation technique and the use of bio-adhesives. Adhered sternal fixation techn...
