Repair of Cleft Sternum
2017
Complete and partial cleft sternum requires either primary repair, or repair by bridging the gap using native musculoskeletal tissue or synthetic material. When performed early in the first few months of life primary closure is usually achievable. Late reconstruction, when the chest wall is less compliant, requires additional manoeuvres in order to accommodate and protect the vital organs within the thoracic cavity.
