  • Title: Autologous bone transplant after sternal resection.
    Author: Piotrowski JA, Fischer M, Klaes W, Splittgerber F.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 1996 Dec; 37(6 Suppl 1):179-81. PubMed ID: 10064373.
    Abstract:
    Two patients underwent subtotal sternal resection for tumors of the sternum. Anatomical and functional reconstruction was performed with bone fragments harvested from the internal lamina of both iliac wings. There were no infections and no instabilities. Late postoperative follow-up included CT-scan of the thorax and pulmonary function testing, which was not compromised. We conclude that this surgical approach is very efficient in regard to function and chest wall stability.
