Treatment of sternal nonunion with the Dall-Miles cable system.

Abstract:

:We have used this technique in two patients. One had early sternal dehiscence with presternal infection, and the other had late sternal nonunion. Uncomplicated sternal union was achieved in both patients. The cables were nonpalpable in both patients, but they were removed in one patient at that patient's request. This method of using Dall-Miles cerclage cables is a straightforward and efficacious method of open reduction and internal fixation of the sternum. It is indicated for patients with chronic sternal nonunion or early postoperative separation of the sternal fragments and may be used even in the presence of an infection limited to the presternal space after adequate debridement and irrigation have been performed. Any recurrent superficial infection, although unlikely, can be cured by hardware removal after osseous union has been obtained. For sternal separation without fractures, four cables may simply be placed around the sternal halves and their tension increased. In the case of sternal fractures, the cables may be placed in figures of eight or in other woven configurations as needed for each individual case.
