Subject: Thoracic surgery term (doctor spelling). sm

I have a doctor doing a revision on a sternum and replacing the wires. He says "the sternum was robschueked on both sides using heavy sternal wire."


This is exactly how he is spelling it and I have tried everything.  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
