Ozaki et al, (7) in the 1990's, reported that reconstruction of the

Nasal, ocular and mouth discharge were also normal after third day Two crossbred heifer were in
sternal and later on second day, laterally recumbent.
However, use of bilateral IMAs has resulted in greater operative deaths, increased risk of
sternal wound infections (perhaps due to decreased blood flow to the sternum), prolonged post-CABG ventilation and increased reoperation for bleeding.1
At the time of chest closure, care is taken to align the
sternal fragments, ensuring that there is no gap between the bony edges.
Results:
Sternal skin stress during each lifting task was significantly different from all others (p < 0.001, repeated measures ANOVA, Tukey post-hoc tests).
Sternal fracture is observed in 3-8% of the cases with blunt thoracic trauma12, whereas 1.7% of the patients had
sternal fracture in the present study.
In summary, their experience reports an alternative, single-stage technique of debridement, internal fixation of the sternum, pectoralis major musculocutaneous advancement flaps, and primary closure used in patients with
sternal dehiscence following median sternotomy.
Sternal radiographs revealed a fracture subluxation with slight step deformity in mid-portion of the sternum, corresponding to the painful area clinically (Figure 1).
