Rib flare of an adolescent: case report

A seventeen-year-old male patient was examined due to a protrusion at the level of the left costal arch. He stated that he had no disease and was even involved in a heavy sport, such as amateur football. The study aimed to examine the cause of rib dislocation and treatment options of the operated patient in light of the literature, as she did not accept other types of treatment due to periodic pain in the protruded body area and cosmetic discomfort.
