Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hey Gretchen, I am thankful Seth has the pectus carantium not excavatum. Anyhow I am glad he is not having surgery due to the fact that the doctors said that if he had the surgery it could turn into excavatum. So the bracing for Seth will be best.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hello there, Pectus Carantium is a very significant protrusion of the breastbone (made up of cartiledge behind the bone causing the bone to stick out). I believe in nonoperative procedures. Dartmouth Hitchcock here in NH has a great doctor!! Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
