rib involvement

I had a slight twist clockwise in my right rib cage to develop a slight hump. That is actually how I was diagnosed. During surgery, they removed 3/4 of the bottem three ribs that were most affected and ground them up to place in the spinal collum it's self. (In doing so they punctured my lung and didn't discover it until *after* they had sewn me up. grr
