After a total sternectomy, a rigid prosthetic replacement is usually recommended to protect the lungs, heart, and main vessels and to prevent paradoxical respiration.1 The most common system used for rigid reconstruction of the sternum is methyl methacrylate, which is difficult to handle and mold into the correct shape.2 We describe a rigid sternal recon- struction after total sternectomy using a new system with moldable titanium bars and rib clips.

Abstract

After a total sternectomy, a rigid prosthetic replacement is usually recommended to protect the lungs, heart, and main vessels and to prevent paradoxical respiration.1 The most common system used for rigid reconstruction of the sternum is methyl methacrylate, which is difficult to handle and mold into the correct shape.2 We describe a rigid sternal recon- struction after total sternectomy using a new system with moldable titanium bars and rib clips.
