Stainless steel wiring is currently the standard method of median sternotomy closure but it has been reported that sufficient stiffness is not obtained by the method in anterior-posterior and cranial-caudal directions. A bioabsorbable Poly-L-Lactide (PLLA) sternal pin has been developed as an additive material for sternal closure. We biomechanically examined the effectiveness of a PLLA sternal pin in the two directions by using the sternum of a juvenile pig.
