Short bar repair of pectus excavatum.

A 15-year-old boy presented with a moderate pectus excavatum (Figure 1). The preoperative X-rays are shown (Figures 2,3). He complained about cosmetics and did not have any physiological limitations. He plays badminton without symptoms and claims that he has the same level of endurance as his peers. Because of clinical suspicions concerning Marfan syndrome, he had an echocardiography, which was normal.
