Development of a new sternal dehiscence prediction scale for decision making in sternal closure techniques after cardiac surgery

Abstract Background After sternotomy, the spectrum for sternal osteosynthesis comprises standard wiring and more complex techniques, like titanium plating. The aim of this study is to develop a predictive risk score that evaluates the risk of sternum instability individually. The surgeon may then ch...
