A member asked:
My left rib under my chest is slightly more prominent(larger) than the right. i have scoliosis but my curve is towards the right in the thoracic, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some mild: asymmetry of the rib cage can be normal. Also, the scoliosis may be contributing to the asymmetry because the ribs articulate with the spine posteriorly, so any spine curvature will necessarily cause the rib cage to be rotated or tilted to some degree.
