Record pulmonary function and thoracic volume of TIS patients at enrollment and with serial observation 2. Offer expansion thoracoplasty therapy to TIS patients with 1. poor pulmonary function at enrollment 2. progressive decline in pulmonary function 3. progressive chest wall and/or spinal deformity 4. lack of appropriate increase in thoracic volume during growth 3. Document efficacy of expansion thoracoplasty for TIS patients
Primary Outcome
1)Record pulmonary function and thoracic volume of TIS patients at enrollment and with serial observation postoperatively (Change from baseline at: 6 week, 12 week, 6 month, and every 6 months after that.)
