Chest wall reconstruction with MatrixRIB after resection of primary chest wall abscess and sternal osteomyelitis

Abstract

Primary chest wall abscess is a rare chest wall disease. With the continuous enhancement of antibacterial efficacy of antibacterial drugs, such diseases showed a downward trend. Recently, we received a 65-year-old male patient with primary chest wall abscess and sternal osteomyelitis. We first removed his lesion completely, and then reconstructed the chest wall with MatrixRIB plates and achieved satisfactory results. This article reports the operation of this patient.
