Chicken chest is an abnormal chest symptom, with the sternum of the affected child showing a prominent anterior protrusion, which is a noticeable deformity. In daily life, there are many children with chicken breasts. So what is the problem with chicken breasts in children? Let's take a look together below.
Pediatric chicken chest is caused by deformation of the anterior chest wall. Generally, mild cases of chicken chest do not have a significant impact on cardiovascular function, and the child will not show obvious symptoms. However, if the degree of deformity is severe, it not only easily affects the child's cardiovascular health, but also imposes a great psychological burden on the patient.
The main reason for children having chicken breasts is due to bone problems. If children suffer from long-term calcium deficiency, it can lead to abnormal development of their skeletal cartilage and the formation of rickets, which is the main cause of chicken breast disease. In addition, a small number of children with chicken breasts are congenital, and those with chicken breasts are often accompanied by other physical deformities.
For example, O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, etc. are obvious manifestations of abnormal development in children. The harm of chicken breast is not only reflected in its impact on cardiovascular function, but also seriously affects the beauty of the patient's body. As the child grows up, they are also prone to developing inferiority complex due to others' opinions. So it is necessary to correct it through surgery as much as possible.
