In the assessment of the deformed chest wall, morphologic and cosmetic considerations are prominent. Classification should not depend on the observer's subjective impression. The measuring procedure presented and tested in 142 patients shows that relationships exist between the shape of the chest wall and the position of the heart, but no utilizable correlations to total function values. A growth-dependent progression of thoracic space requirement is not be expected as a rule.
在评估胸廓畸形时，形态学和美观方面的考虑较为突出。分类不应依赖观察者的主观印象。在142例患者中提出并测试的测量程序表明，胸壁形状与心脏位置之间存在关联，但与整体功能值没有可利用的相关性。通常不应预期胸廓空间需求会随生长而进展。
