Chicken breast is also called pigeon breast. The sternum protrudes forward and looks like the breasts of chickens and pigeons, so it is called chicken breast. It is the second most common thoracic deformity in the anterior chest wall, which is less common than funnel chest. The incidence rate is about one thousandth, and the ratio of male to female is about 4: 1, accounting for 16.7% of all chest wall malformations. Symptoms appeared later, and more than 50% were 165438.
The etiology is not clear, and it may be related to heredity, and the family history is about 20% ~ 25%. It is generally believed that the growth of ribs and costal cartilage is caused. Sternal malformation is secondary to rib malformation and can also be secondary to thoracic diseases.

At the end of pregnancy, mothers should pay attention to nutrition, eat more foods rich in vitamin D and protein, such as eggs and animal livers, and often bask in the sun. Every newborn should take 400 ~ 600 IU of vitamin D every day from half a month after birth to 2 ~ 3 years old. If the daily milk volume (including breast milk and formula milk) is above 600ml, the calcium age in the milk can meet the baby's needs, and calcium supplementation is not needed. If the amount of milk is less than 600ml per day, calcium should be supplemented appropriately.
Sunbathing is the most convenient, economical, safe and effective way to prevent rickets. After the baby has passed the full moon, you can gradually increase the time spent in the sun. In normal weather, sunbathing for about 2 hours a day can meet the needs of vitamin D. Avoid direct sunlight in summer and play in the shade. Don't wear a hat or mask through the glass when you are in the sun, otherwise you won't be able to prevent rickets.
