Abstract
A method of postoperative stabilization of the chest wall in pectus excavatum has been developed that is both simple and physiologically sound. It produces a near anatomic reformation of the anterior thorax, no matter how severe the deformity, and at the age it presents itself. In addition, the convalescence is smooth, remarkably free of complications, permitting early mobilization of the patient, with comparative freedom from pain or paradox, producing early and late stability of the thorax. In other words, it is a thorough mobilization that can be tailored to the required specifications and maintained as such until adequate healing takes place to produce a stable reformation of the anterior chest wall.
