ABSTRACT
Pectus arcuatum is a rare complex chest wall deformity. A 31-year-old female presented with a severely protruding upper sternum combined with a concave lower sternum. We planned a modified Ravitch-type operation. Through vertical mid-sternal incision, chondrectomies were performed from the second to fifth costal cartilages, saving the perichondrium. Horizontal osteotomy was performed in a wedge shape on the most protruding point, and followed by an additional partial osteotomy at the most concaved point. The harvested wedge-shape bone fragments were minced and re-implanted to the latter osteotomy site. The osteotomized sternum was fixed with multiple wirings. With chondrosternoplasty, a complex chest wall deformity can be corrected successfully.
