Is There Any Suggested Treatment For Flared Ribs?
My son just had the Nuss procedure for his Pectus Excavatum and his chest looks great, no to mention he is breathing better. However, along with the Pectus Excavatum, he also has extremely "flared" ribs, I mean the doctor he had never seen a protrusion like his. My question, what treatments are out there for "flared" ribs

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If he does not have any issues either cosmetically or for his breathing then it would be fine to leave it at it. Try to maintain the posture straight and exercise to build the muscles. Consult a physiotherapist for the same.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
