The performance of eversion is more obvious. The sternum of the affected part protrudes forward, and sometimes it is even obvious, which will make the patient feel embarrassed or upset. In addition, chest valgus causes lung compression, which may cause dyspnea, heart enlargement, chest pain, shoulder and back pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. If you find yourself with these symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to consult a professional doctor and make a treatment plan.
There are many methods to treat ectropion. Choose the appropriate method according to the patient's age, severity, physical characteristics and doctor's advice. Non-surgical treatment methods include orthosis, growth hormone, training and so on. The methods of surgical treatment include eversion and eversion correction. The correction of valgus is mainly to change the shape of sternum and ribs, make the sternum lean backward, improve the shape of chest, and improve the function of breathing and heart to some extent. Inversion correction moves the sternum backward by implanting stents or bone grafts, thus restoring the normal shape of the chest. Although surgical treatment can change the shape of sternum, the postoperative rehabilitation process should be closely monitored to avoid sequelae such as deterioration of lung function.
