There appears to be infection, and that sometimes is the result of wiring the chest wall together.  All that can be done is dress the infected area, watch, and take antibiotics especially if there is a fever.

Sorry to hear of your wife's complications, and I hope her well going forward.  Thanks for your questions, take care.

They need to ensure no infection is getting into bone tissue, because certain bacteria can be a nightmare to get rid of. There are still (thankfully) certain antibiotics which can fight such infections. They should take a swab of the infection and give it to a microbiologist, who can determine the correct antibiotics to administer for a quick recovery.
