Question
I’ve had this for several years, but it doesn’t hurt. I am very thin, and the bone on the right side of my chest is much larger than the left. The ribs on the left side are also larger than those on the right. This was something I noticed only in 2013. Hello, does this indicate kyphosis or something else, and are there any treatment methods available?
Answer
An uneven sternum size is generally a common cause of congenital developmental abnormalities, which may be a manifestation of congenital scoliosis. It is recommended to first have an X-ray examination to take a closer look. At this point, there may also be an uneven height of the shoulders on both sides of the spine, and surgery may be necessary if needed. Wishing you good health.
