Abstract

Until 1982 we have performed 1410 chest wall corrections in our clinic. 0.5 percent were related to cleft sternum or osteocartilagineous defects, 2.3 percent to premature sternal synostosis, 0.5 percent followed the reconstruction of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Another 17 percent were characterized by extreme flat chest, atypical anterolateral asymmetric or extreme position of the punctum maximum. Morphological parameters are taken by pelvimeter and profile measurements, operative consequences derived from the morphological typing and grading and the clinical finding.
