Baby rib eversion

Let the child lie flat, with the ribs at the bottom edge exceeding the outer edge of the body, which is called rib eversion. Rib eversion is because the two ribs at the bottom of the sternum are not connected to the sternum, and the child's abdominal motion is greater during inhalation and exhalation, and rib eversion will occur when the ribs are soft. . There are two causes of infant rib eversion: one is simply a rib deformity; the other is caused by rickets.
