Pectus Carinatum

Anne Whitney

Hi all,

I have a patient who is in her early twenties with chondromanubrial pectus carinatum. When I apply a corrective force to the prominence, it is rigid but the patient reports that the pressure is tolerable. Given that she is past skeletal maturity and that her prominence is quite proximal, I am not optimistic about getting a positive outcome with bracing but I don’t have any experience with pacts carinatum so I am curious as to what others with more experience would say. I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,
