Patient-Reported Efficacy of the University of California, San Francisco, Custom Pectus Carinatum Orthosis

Conclusion Wear times reported by the subjects were comparable with those reported in other studies looking at prefabricated pectus orthoses. However, there were lower reports of pain associated with the UCSF treatment than in other studies. Further research is necessary to determine the benefit of custom fabricated versus prefabricated PCOs.
