Abstract :
Sternum infection after cardiac surgery represents a severe complication with a high mortality rate. Therapeutic possibilities consist in “open packing” with specific antibiotic irrigation or in “en-block” resection. We report a case of sternum reconstruction using a titanium patch covered with bone-powder.
