it's not like a strut bar is very rigid and it obliges the surrounding the surrounding ribs to be stick to it and then and thus it modifies the shape of the chest wall leading to what it's the most common complication after that it is scoliosis or deformation of chest wall
compared to very rigid structures such as the titanium bars, the strut bar, the bioprosthesis integrates with the tissue. Therefore, it's the tissue while the surrounding tissue grows, it also grows with it
reaching what we call the drum like tension, that is a tension strong enough to guarantee internal organ protections while accommodating with the chest wall growing process
