To correct the deformity after the sternal fracture is healed, the operation generally needs to be carried out under general anesthesia. Sternal malformation needs surgical treatment. If the sternum sinks, the sternum can be cut, upturned and corrected, and fixed with steel plate or steel wire. If it is chicken breast or funnel chest, it needs to be cut and corrected on both sides of the sternum and ribs. If there is warping or depression on the sternum, it needs to be cut and corrected in the chest and back and fixed with steel plate, screw or steel wire. After the sternal fracture healed, the deformity was completely corrected, and the operation must be carried out under general anesthesia, but postoperative immobilization is needed.
Sternal malformation is divided into congenital and acquired, which is caused by malnutrition and is more common in early childhood. It's a sign of rickets. Because of cartilage, recurrent and acquired chicken breast, chicken breast is mainly caused by secondary chest diseases such as congenital dysplasia and acquired malnutrition. If you are young and the deformity is light, you can relieve or correct it by wearing special orthopedic vests and other external instruments, and help correct the deformity with practice. Therefore, we can continue to carry out orthopedic examination and supplement vitamins, such as vitamin D and calcium treatment, which mainly affect our appearance or future activities.
