Pectus carinatum successful treated with bracing
MIELKE CH; WINTER RB
INT ORTHOP , 1993, n° 17, p. 350-352 Doc n°: 68443 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : CA723 - APPAREILLAGE de REDRESSEMENT et IMMOBILISATION - RACHIS We report the case of a 14 year old girl who desired treatment for a cosmetically objectionable pectus carinatum deformity. She was initially managed with a corrective underarm body cast for six weeks followed by full-time bracing for seven months. Subsequently, she was braced only at night for another eight months. Seven years after the onset of treatment she had an excellent result without recurrence of deformity. In a well-motivated, skeletally immature individual bracing can be an effective treatment for cosmetically displeasing pectus carinatum.
