Abstract

Early in development, driven by mostly unknown factors, a malformed sternum can manifest as a cleft. This is not innocuous, as surgical repair is required to mitigate the deleterious effects of unprotected thoracic organs, impaired respiratory function, and susceptibility to chest infections. We aimed to enrich the literature on this topic by presenting the case of a 10-month-old boy diagnosed with a sternal cleft who underwent reconstruction using a rib cartilage bridging graft supported with fascia and acellular dermal matrix. Management outcomes are expected to improve as surgical approaches evolve from simple primary sternal closure to using cartilaginous or bony grafts and leveraging adjacent soft tissue for added coverage.

胸骨裂移植手术修复成功。

在发育早期，由于大多数未知因素的驱使，畸形的胸骨可以表现为裂口。这并不是无害的，因为手术修复需要减轻无保护的胸部器官的有害影响，呼吸功能受损，以及对胸部感染的易感性。我们的目的是丰富关于这一主题的文献，提出了一个10个月大的男孩诊断为胸骨裂的病例，他使用筋膜和脱细胞真皮基质支持的肋骨软骨桥接移植物进行重建。随着手术方法从简单的初级胸骨闭合发展到使用软骨或骨移植物并利用邻近软组织增加覆盖范围，治疗结果有望改善。
