sternum's surface layers of compact bone Explanation: "Daarom moet het foam * tussen de sternumbladen * ongeveer anderhalf keer groter zijn * dan de ruimte die aanwezig is tussen de beide sternumhelften * ... between the sternum's anterior and posterior surface layers of compact bone .... than the available space between these layers as I understand it, 'sternumbladen' is used in the same sense as 'sternumhelften' it seems this foam is introduced into the interior of the sternum, where the bone marrow normally would be, between the two layers of compact bone: de sternumbladen / sternumhelften http://www.theodora.com/anatomy/the_sternum.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day21 hrs (2013-04-25 11:33:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- left half of sternum and right half of the sternum alternatively, if the sternum was cut longitudinally into halves and there was some space between these two halves and this space was to be filled with foam, they would actually mean the left and the right half of the sternum, which would also be 'bladen', since the sternum is a flattened bone. In this case you could just use left half of sternum and right half of the sternum or right and left sternal halves it seems to me a bit odd and unnecessary to say 'flattened right / left sternal half, or something Wire is effective at approximating sternal halves, but does not provide rigid fixation. The use of plates is one method that provides the rigid fixation needed to support healing following approximation. http://www.biometmicrofixation.com/downloads/Approximation a... the negative pressure is produced by inhalation please let me know what the exact situation is |
