Abstract

Rib prominence is often seen on the convex side in AIS patients. A rib hump is frequently the main concern and causes social and psychological damage to the patient [1, 2]. Correction of chest wall deformities is an important aim in the surgical plan. A rib hump deformity may not be adequately addressed by scoliosis correction alone. Costoplasty of the residual rib hump after instrumented spinal correction and fusion is cosmetically better than spinal fusion alone in addressing chest wall deformities. In severe rib hump deformities, bilateral rib cage osteotomy may be needed convex side costoplasty and concave rib osteotomy.
