Question

Regarding the treatment costs for pediatric pigeon chest, I hope to obtain professional answers.

Answer

For the specific costs of pediatric pigeon chest treatment, it is recommended to consult directly with the local hospital or the hospital where treatment is planned to be received. Pigeon chest is a common thoracic wall deformity in children, accounting for about 90% of all pediatric thoracic wall deformities. It is primarily characterized by inward Depression in the lower part of the sternum and the xiphoid process, resembling a funnel. In some cases, the sternum on both sides is asymmetrical, presenting irregular concave and convex shapes. The etiology of pigeon chest is not yet clear, but there is a tendency towards familial inheritance.
