title: [Radical thoracoplasty by the funneled thorax malformation in adults].
abstract: Early and long-term results of radical thoracoplasty in 114 adult patients with funnel chest are presented. The Sulamaa-Paltia operation was performed in 24 patients, thoracoplasty with sternocostal complex fixing by arcuated nitinol plates was made in 30 patients. Thoracoplasty with sternocostal complex fixing by M-shaped nitinol plates was performed in 60 cases. Two patients after Sulamaa-Paltia operation demonstrated the plate displacement, which caused the relapse of the disease. Those patients, who had other techniques applied, showed no signs of relapse. Thus, Sulamaa-Paltia operation allowed good results in 83,3% of the treated patients; the use of arcuated and M-shaped plates showed good results in 93,3 and 98,3%, respectively.
