Abstract: Costal arch deformity is one of the thoracic deformities, but it was always regarded as a part of other
complex deformities. The former surgical methods for this deformity are only affiliated procedures, which
are not suitable for independent costal arch deformity. We encountered a large number of patients with
single rib arch malformation in our clinical practice. In order to treat this special kind of deformity, we
designed a minimally invasive procedure.Keywords: Costal arch deformity, minimally invasive, operation
