Abstract
A corrective operation for funnel chest using a Zimmer osteosynthetic plate, which can be bent to any configuration desired, is described. This operative method can be employed for any type of chest deformity in adults and adolescents. A physiologically normal and perfectly stabilized anterior chest wall is obtained with this plate system, and no relapse occurs even after removal of the plate.Entities:
