A Different from of Sternal Reconstruction: A Case Study

Currently, almost all sternum defects, with or without tissue loss, can be repaired through various kinds of surgical procedures and grafts. A patient diagnosed with multiple myeloma one and a half years earlier experienced during therapy a pathological fracture of the sternum that healed with a “staircase” like complication. Reconstruction of the sternum using the "nitinol plaque" was performed on the patient, who came to have the deformity corrected. We present our first case of reconstruction using a new material, which had a successful outcome.
