Hi List,
I have a patient with a very proximal pectus carinatum deformity. It is
proximal sternum, involves the sternal notch and also the sternoclavicular
joints. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for brace design. I am
struggling to create an orthosis with an effective corrective force on the
deformity because of it's position.

Thanks in advance!
