Patient's question:
Please ask: Are chicken chest treatment devices currently on the market effective for treating chicken chest in 1-year-old children?Doctor's answer:
Pectoral deformity is generally considered to be related to genetic factors, similar to funnel chest deformity. Most people believe it is caused by excessive growth of ribs and costal cartilage, and the deformation of the sternum is secondary to the deformation of the ribs. Chest wall deformities that affect the respiratory and circulatory systems, such as funnel chest, pectoral deformity, and pectoralis major muscle split, not only impose a psychological burden and affect personality due to the deformity, but also require surgical correction due to the damage to respiratory and circulatory functions caused by the deformity itself. Generally, it is necessary to actively supplement calcium and vitamin D.
