“…Titanium mesh is used for sternal defects >5 cm, without the need for additional autologous tissue. Due to its biocompatibility and flexibility, titanium mesh serves as a versatile and easy-to-implement polypropylene mesh to reconstruct sternal defects; however, its lack of rigidity may result in paradoxical chest wall motion [5].…”

A 63-year-old patient was admitted with a sternal fracture and mass. On evaluation, most of the body of the sternum had been destroyed by a tumor. Radical resection of the sternum was performed and part of the major pectoral muscles adherent to the sternal tumor was also resected. The chest wall defect was reconstructed with mesh, bone cement, and a titanium rib plate system. Reconstruction with this method seemed to be an appropriate procedure to prevent instability of the chest wall.
