Abstract
A 13-year-old boy with pectus carinatum was successfully treated by modified Ravitch's techniques combined with short-term orthotic bracing. No sternal osteotomy and less extensive resection of costal cartilage were performed. This minimally invasive surgery is safely and effectively in pubertal patients with pectus carinatum.
