  • Title: Chest wall reconstruction with a novel titanium mesh after partial sternectomy for chondrosarcoma.
    Author: Aprile V, Korasidis S, Crisci R, Ambrogi MC.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2020 Jan 01; 30(1):149-150. PubMed ID: 31873742.
    Abstract:
    Primitive malignant sternal tumours are extremely rare and represent less than 1% of all chest wall tumours. A combination of radical surgery and accurate reconstruction is mandatory to ensure adequate stability and to reduce paradoxical movement. To date, this is one of the few reports on a successful sternal reconstruction using a rigid titanium mesh to restore the skeletal integrity, which was then covered by bilateral muscular flaps.
