摘要
A simplified method of reinforcement for closure of the precarious sternum is described. This method uses a longitudinal sternal wire on each side, which lies within the transverse wires when they are approximated. The longitudinal wires serve as impenetrable reinforcements for the sternal halves, resulting in tight, secure approximation and preventing the transverse wires from tearing through the bone. The technique has been found quick and extremely effective.
