Treatment of total sternal necrosis using the latissimus dorsi muscle flap.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Theories regarding the cause of craniosynostosis that are more than 15 years old cite the role that tensional forces play in the normal and abnormal development of the cranial suture. These theories highlight the effect of stress bands originating from the skull base to the vertex, guiding sutural developmen...
