This study investigated a commercially available system purported to provide a sternal closure system superior to conventional steel wire cerclage while avoiding many of the problems of current alternatives. Three-dimensional remodelling to determine best fit for hemihamate autograft arthroplastyConventional techniques for reconstructing comminuted fractures of the middle phalanx have shown limited efficacy in certain situations. This study describes a three-dimensional modelling method for hemihamate arthroplasty that enables visualization and superimposition of key landmarks to optimize a hamate autograft. Trends in postcoronary artery bypass graft sternal wound dehiscence in a provincial populationContemporary populations undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting appear to have proportionately more comorbidities than previously studied cohorts. Although sternal wound dehiscence is a relatively uncommon complication, its incidence is not insignificant. Given the sequelae resulting from this complication, understanding its incidence is important for quality control and resource planning. This prospective analysis of an historical cohort used data obtained from the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease database to examine changing trends in Alberta between 2002 and 2009.
