Optimization of surgical treatment of keyline deformation of the chest in children

Chest deformities occur in 2% of people. Changes (defects) in bone and cartilage tissues reduce both the supporting function of the chest and the required amount of mobility. Deformities of the chest (sternum and ribs) are not only a cosmetic defect and cause not only psychological problems, but also quite often lead to dysfunction of the chest organs (cardiovascular system and respiratory system).
