In follow-up examinations, and thus far, no paradoxical breathing and no recurrence of osteomyelitis or hernia have been observed in the repaired area (Fig. 1 f). Computed tomography images taken five years after the surgery also confirmed that the implants are well integrated without rejection, side effects, migration, or postoperative complications (Fig. 1 g).
