Catarina Y Bitkover, MD, PhD, Kerstin Cederlund, MD, Bengt Åberg, MD, PhD, Jarle Vaage, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 68, Issue 3, Pages (September 1999) DOI: /S (99)

2 Fig 1 (Top) Normal healing of median sternotomy at 3 months. The cortical bone is still discontinuous, and there is no visible callus formation. (Bottom) Same image in the same patient at 6 months. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

3 Fig 2 Computed tomographic scans of a patient in whom pseudarthrosis developed. (Top) Sternotomy 1 week after operation and (bottom) sternotomy at 6 months. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

4 Fig 3 Results of computed tomography (CT) performed because of suspected infection in early group (within 30 days after operation) in retrospective study and definite diagnosis. The boxes made of broken lines show the results of CT and the boxes of solid lines, the definite diagnosis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

5 Fig 4 Results of computed tomography (CT) performed because of pain or suspected dehiscence in early group (within 30 days after operation) in retrospective study and definite diagnosis. The boxes made of broken lines show the results of CT and the boxes made of solid lines, the definite diagnosis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

6 Fig 5 Results of computed tomography (CT) performed because of suspected infection in late group (more than 30 days after operation) in retrospective study and definite diagnosis. The boxes made of broken lines show the results of CT and the boxes made of solid lines, the definite diagnosis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )
