The Nuss-procedure forces the sternum out with a metal-bar
and because of that also forces the rest of the upper body into a correct position.
The Do-it-yourself-procedure, developed by me (B. RL Åkerström)
forces the surroundings of the sternum (the rest of the upper body) by natural
ergonomics, towards a correct position and as a consequence of that forces the sternum
towards a correct position.
People whom have undergone the Nuss-surgery (I have followed
forums) in general complains about pain in the upper back. The reason is of
course the fact that the ribs that are attached to the sternum also are
attached to the shortened kyphotic upper back. The lift of the sternum will
cause an enormous stretching in the upper back when the ribs moves forwards
together with the sternum.
A little pain may occur during the
Do-it-yourself-procedure as well (in the upper back) at some points in time. From
my experience; the pain is very mild (like doing weight lifting). You will
slowly move the sternum and the rest of the body towards a correct position
(like moving teeth). From my experience the recovery process is very fast in
the beginning if it is followed 100%, and it will be more and more slow the
closer to full correction one gets. My record for now is: A little more than 90% corrected.
Nuss
1.
A force under the sternum push it out (a
metal-bar).
2.
The ribs moves in the direction of the lifted
sternum.
3.
The spine straightens.
Yourself
1.
The spine straightens because of natural ergonomics.
2.
The ribs are pushed in the direction of the
sternum because
the spine straightens.
3.
The sternum is forced out by the ribs with
help from the
“natural metal-bar” the diaphragm.
