What Causes Deformity Of Ribs ?
hi-one of my ribs (the top part on my left side) sticks out loads and looks twisted/deformed. My back is perfectly straight and my ribs on the right are completely normal. I'm not sure if it's the top part of the left side sticking out or that the bottom part has sunken in. Help!!!

Hello
Thank you for asking in HCM
I have a question for you.
Does this deformation of the ribs hurt to you? Have you had an accident or a trauma?
If no of these factors you should do a chest X Ray to see better the ribs in both sides of the thoracic cage.
Thank you
