Is it rickets or something that the sternum is slightly larger?

Patient's question:

A few years ago, it didn't hurt, and I'm very thin. The right side of my chest bone is much larger than the left, and the left ribs are larger than the right. This was only noticed in 2013. Hello, do you have scoliosis or something else? Is there any treatment available?

Doctor's answer:

When the size of the sternum is inconsistent, the general common reason is usually due to congenital developmental abnormalities. This condition may be an expression of congenital scoliosis. It is recommended to first undergo an X-ray examination to take a look. At this time, there may also be an unevenness in the height of the shoulder joints on both sides of the spine. In necessary cases, surgery cannot be ruled out. Wishing you good health.
