1, rib valgus, the so-called rib valgus deformity, has both biological and pathological reasons. Most babies will find that the bottom rib protrudes to the outside of the human body when they are in the supine position, which is not on a horizontal plane with the upper rib. This kind of rib valgus deformity is related to the improper posture of the baby during long-term sleep or the improper posture of the parents when holding the baby. In addition, it is also directly related to calcium deficiency or vitamin D deficiency in infants. A series of abnormal changes, such as rickets and chicken breast, may occur in the rib valgus deformity caused by calcium deficiency.
2. If it is physiological rib valgus deformity, most of them can be corrected by touching and doing some targeted rehabilitation, and most of them have good prognosis. For the rib valgus deformity caused by calcium deficiency or vitamin D deficiency, most of them can be corrected by supplementing calcium and vitamin D properly.
3. If the child has not been significantly corrected by this means before the age of two, you can also consider surgery. The operation is not difficult, the risk is relatively low, and the prognosis is relatively good.
