Bracing

A external compressive bracing system is considered the first line of treatment for pectus carinatum or pigeon chest and is the preferred method to reshape the chest wall in young patients with flexible chests. The brace is worn regularly for around 8 to 12 months and if the schedule is followed corrects the chest. The Pectus Clinic has one of the largest bracing program in Europe and regularly publishes data on its practice and outstanding outcomes.
