U.S., Jan. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07338006) titled 'Chest Wall Reconstruction Cohort' on Jan. 03.
Brief Summary: Chest wall reconstruction following tumor or infection-related resections remains a challenging aspect of thoracic surgery, requiring restoration of structural stability and preservation of respiratory mechanics. While polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement has long been used for rigid reconstruction, its limitations-including high cost, rigidity, infection risk, and interference with normal respiratory motion-pose challenges in resource-constrained settings. Twisted stainless steel wires offer a low-cost, flexible alternative that allows dynamic chest wall movement an...
