Surgical Correction of Child Pectus Excavatum by TiNi-based Materials

Abstract

This article describes the serious and urgent issue of surgical treatment of congenital child pectus excavatum and the approaches in the surgical correction of this children pathology. The authors propose an original surgical treatment method in applying TiNi-based materials possessing shape memory in OP treatment of pectus excavatum. Plain integral TiNi-based plasty creates supplemental correction force due to the material isoelastic properties, providing stable fixation of corrected chest section throughout the immobilization period.
