Article Synopsis
- A new chest wall malformation called postprematurity thoracic dysplasia (PPTD) was identified, characterized by inward curvature of the 6th ribs and a history of prematurity or respiratory issues.
- A study analyzed 4640 patients with chest wall malformations, finding that 29 (1.4%) exhibited the PPTD morphology; half of these had a history of prematurity while the other half did not.
- Both groups of patients displayed high rates of respiratory issues and low familial incidence of chest wall malformations, suggesting that PPTD may not be directly linked to premature birth and could relate to other underlying conditions.

Background/purpose: Anteriorly convex sternum in pectus excavatum, also known as banana sternum (BS), influences decision-making during repair and, especially, the need to cross bars. However, the definition of BS remains subjective. Thus, we aim to propose the retrosternal angle (RSA) as a diagnostic measure for the discrimination of BS.

Background/purpose: Quantification of the severity of pectus excavatum deformities is currently performed using the Haller index (HI) and the Correction index (CI), amongst others. However, most indexes characterize the severity at the point of maximum excavation. We present a new index, the Titanic index (TI), aimed at the appraisal of the cephalocaudal extent of the excavation and its potential clinical use.
