Does the funnel deformity affects the sagittal balance of the spine? This question is a result of a Principal Investigator's novel observation, that in some cases restoring the correct balance reduce the distance between the retracted sternum and the spine. The aim of the study was to assess that sagittal balance of the spine change 6 months after surgical treatment? We assess: 1. Deviations in sagittal balance in patients before the procedure by X-ray. 2. Change in the distance between the sternum and the anterior part of the nearest vertebral body after virtual reproduction of the correct sagittal balance by AI. 3. Change in the distance between the sternum and the anterior part of the nearest vertebral body 6 months after the Nuss procedure by X-ray.
