Deformities of inferior ribs have more serious complications like poor cardiac ejection fraction and lung herniation that may leads to recurrent chest infections&#44; tachypnea&#44; and dyspnea with very poor prognosis in such cases&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#8211;5</span></a> In our case&#44;
