Sternal instability measured with radiostereometric analysis. A study of method feasibility, accuracy and precision
Abstract Background A small, but unstable, saw-gap may hinder bone-bridging and induce development of painful sternal dehiscence. We propose the use of Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) for evaluation of sternal instability and present a method validation. Methods Four bone analogs (phantoms) were st...
