Understand the hump: Rib hump is from rotation of the spine which produces rotation of the ribs leading to cosmetic appearance. It is benign. Surgery for correction of the curve can lead to improvement of the hump. Rarely is surgery indicated on the ribs alone. For more information visit www.eSpine.com under scoliosis
