✨This case report presents a pectus excavatum patient who had a very flexible sternum that was bent by the Nuss bars to a degree that is enough to cause pectus carinatum.
✨The development of pectus carinatum after a Nuss procedure is a very rare but possible complication that can be observed in flexible patients. Early bar removal due to this complication may lead to the recurrence of pectus excavatum. Revision procedures, vacuums and external bracing orthoses may be used to manage this complication.
