Summary

Based on the hypothesis that the chest wall was still pliable in adolescence and could be reshaped in a normal position with the external suppressor applied on the chest, a pressure orthosis was started to be used in the pectus carinatum. It is the focus of attention as it is an alternative method to surgery for patients. However, the patient's compliance with the orthosis is difficult. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the Turkish Validity and Reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire, which is a questionnaire investigating the compliance with orthosis treatment in patients diagnosed with Pectus Carinatum by the doctor.
