The histological and ultrastructural findings of rib specimens after two re-interventions in the case of recurrence of pectus carinatum (PC) are presented in this report. A 15-year-old boy developed recurrences of mild PC after re-chondroplasties using the Ravitch technique. Histological study of the resected cartilage showed markedly degenerative changes of the sternocostal cartilage.

Involvement of the sternocostal joints was investigated in a series of 46 males and 18 females following median sternotomy annually in a 5-year period and compared to 62 age- and sex matched control subjects after one year solely. Both groups had a mean age of 49.2 years.

Using radiographic-pathologic correlation, we studied the sternocostal joints derived from 27 consecutive cadavers and one additional cadaver with rheumatoid arthritis. Radiographic findings that were tabulated included joint space narrowing, sternal or costal osteophytes, articular calcification, vacuum phenomena, and the degree of ossification of the costal cartilages. The first sternocostal joint could be classified as either a synchondrosis or synostosis in every instance; however, a joint cavity lateral to the first sternocostal joint represented a normal variation and was seen radiographically in 10 specimens.
