Funnel chest is caused by excessive growth of the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breastbone. The excess cartilage forces the ribs to curve in a manner that pushes the breastbone, or sternum, inward. To correct the problem surgically, the excess cartilage is removed. Then, using the plastic mesh bands, the straightened ribs and breastbone are brought together in a ways that pushes the sternum out.
