I don;t know. It feel like an erector set looking at this. I would also think the plates may make future echos, CTs or MRIs challenging. I am sure the recover is better, but I already feel the top wire they used to close me, would hate to think what this feels like. I am a big fan of the advances in medical technology.

There was an interesting discussion about a new sternal closure method here: Intense Pre-Op Testing Day

The original post was by a member who was participating in a clinical trial in 2015. I found the results published in 2018 and added that information to the thread.
