Patient's question:
Hello, is chicken breast the same as rickets? I want to know if it is, and I hope the doctor can tell me.Doctor's answer:
Chest deformities, such as pigeon chest, are often considered to be genetically related to funnel chest deformities. Most people believe that excessive growth of ribs and costal cartilage is the result of chest bone deformities, which is a secondary cause of rib deformities. Chest wall deformities that affect the respiratory circulation, such as funnel chest, pigeon chest, and sternal cleft, require surgical treatment in addition to the mental burden and personality impact caused by the deformities, as the deformities themselves can also damage respiratory circulation function.
