Background

Chest wall disease is a common disease in thoracic surgery. For most chest wall lesions, surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. Reconstruction is indicated for a wide range of chest wall defects. Currently, various reconstruction materials are used in clinic, including 3D printing materials and various types of metal materials. At present, most of the studies using titanium sternum-rib fixation system for reconstruction are case reports. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the experience to discuss our essential surgical techniques for treating various types of chest wall reconstruction with a titanium sternum-rib fixation system over the last 5 years.
