Summary
This completed study looked at 200 patients who had a sternotomy (chest bone cut open during heart surgery) to find out how many develop chronic pain three months later. Researchers asked about pain levels, sensations like burning or numbness, and how pain affected daily life. The goal was to better understand the frequency and risk factors for long-term pain after this common surgery.

What could go wrong
