A prospective trial comparing sternal cerclage wire closure and rigid-plate fixation for high-risk patients would be helpful in evaluating this hypothesis. 7 Some authors recommend internal fixation with Kirschner wires, Kirschner wires with tension bands, cerclage wires, and screws for severe displacement or no bone contact.
