Differences in Chest Wall Between Dutch Adolescents with Pectus Carinatum and the General Pediatric Population: A Three-Dimensional Scanning Analysis

This research uses three-dimensional body scanning to quantify chest wall morphology differences between Dutch adolescents diagnosed with pectus carinatum and age-matched healthy controls. The study validates the External Haller Index as a measurement tool for assessing protrusion severity in this common pediatric chest wall deformity.
