I have an eleven year old boy with the diagnosis of Pectus Carintum, i.e. Pigeon Chest. I am interested in the success rate of reducing the abnormality of the sternum through Orthotic intervention.
What types of Orthotic devices have had success through the use on a 24 hour per day basis. What special castings or materials are needed for fabrication of a device.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
