Abstract:

A frustrating experience for thoracic surgeons is the breakage of a sternal wire at the time it is being tightened to close a median sternotomy. A simple technique to repair broken sternal wires and allow continuation of the procedure without opening the sternum is described.

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
