Sternal fixation with nickelide titanium staples with shape memory effect is considered to be a novel method of wound closure after cardiac operations. The study includes data of 140 patients and is devoted to the preliminary assessment of the use of the mentioned fixators with self-regulating compression. Osteosynthesis proved to be completely effective in 136 (97,1%) patients. The use of nitinol staples allows not only a secure sternal fixation with minimal risk of underlying structures' trauma, but decreases time of postoperative patients' rehabilitation after the major cardiac surgery.
