Abstract
Several studies are available on measured dynamic compression. Dynamic compression appears to be a safe, non-invasive and efficient treatment to correct pectus carinatum in patients with a non-rigid thorax. Patients experience less discomfort, which in turn results in better compliance. However, accurate selection of patients based on age, pressure of initial correction and motivation is important and an objective scoring system to assess the esthetic and long-term physical and psychological results of the treatment is needed.
