This procedure involves presternal sternum fixation: after mobilization of the concavity, the elevated sternum is held in a position of slight overcorrection by steel splints and metal bands that are left in place for 3 years. The operation is most likely to succeed in children between 6 and 8 years or over 12 years of age. Surgery is indicated for all severe deformities; moderate forms should be operated upon only when ventilation disturbance, cardiac displacement, or psychological disorders are present. The operative results with this procedure are comparable to those achieved by other operations: we had good results in 69.2%, satisfactory in 18.3% and poor in 12.5% of cases.
