Figure 1. Illustration of pectus deformity and myocardial translocation. Pectus deformity with obvious leftward translocation of the myocardium which concurs with the description by Malek and Fonkalsrud (2004), and Garusi and D'Ettorre (1964) of translocation of the myocardium to the mid-axillary line slightly below the armpit. Scar at midline is due to repair of the sternal fracture, not pectus repair.
