broken sternum wires
by 4wire, May 12, 2009 02:55PM
I had bypass surgery 12 years ago.Shortly after my surgery all of the wires holding my sternum together had broken.I had to have my sternum repaired with new and stronger wires.Now I have pain in my chest.I have recently found out that when my sternum was repaired the original broken wires were left in my chest.Now I have to have surgery to remove the original wires.Is it common practice to leave broken wires in a patents chest like that.I feel like the first surgeon should have removed them when he had me cut open in the first place.
