[Surgical treatment of congenital deformities of the thoracic wall]. 1977

C Coman

The author describes an original procedure for the correction of deformities of the antero-lateral thoracic wall, stressing the tactical and technical principles. The mandatory operational steps are the following: wide chondrectomy, borad retrosternal separation of the periost, transversal osteotomy of the sternum and contention by metalic blades placed behind the sternum. The author stresses the surgical indications in all anterolateral deformities of the thorax and considers that the best age for performing the correction is after 10-12 years.
