title = "Computer-aided correction of pectus carinatum",
abstract = "In this paper the virtual correction of chest deformation known as pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) was described. It was presented the method of evaluation the chest stiffness in children aged 9-13 and the comparison of stiffness in helathy children and in patient with chest deformity. It was also performed the biomechanical analysis with the use of finite element method, to predict the possibility of bone fracture during correction. Applied procedure of engineering support in preoperative planning is helpful for surgeons to evaluate the effects of treatment.",
