  • 발행 : 1986.12.01

초록

Funnel chest is the most common deformity of the sternum. It is characterized by a funnel shaped depression of the sternum with sharp angulation and lengthening of the costal cartilages, with the result that the cartilages point posteriorly. We have experienced with eight cases of funnel chest for 2 years recently, and they were corrected by the method of Ravitch operation with or without Kirschner`s wire. The postoperative course was uneventful. And now we report these with literature review.
