I have a 33 year old patient, with left costal margin flaring secondary to
her pectus excavatum. The prominence is quiet high on her left side, sitting
just below the bra line. With pressure it does correct.
She has been referred to us for bracing to correct this. I am wondering if
anyone has dealt with a situation like this before, and if so what sort of
brace they used, either off the shelf or custom designed? And also if there
was any long term success from using the brace?

 

Thanks
