Does having protruding ribs while lying flat indicate rib flaring?

When lying supine, the ribs appear prominently protruding—this may be caused by rib flaring. If a person has conditions such as rib flaring, the ribs may protrude visibly even during routine daily activities, and in some cases, this may interfere with normal daily functioning. Prompt consultation with an orthopedic surgeon is recommended; treatment typically involves wearing a corrective brace to improve the condition. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are also essential in daily life.
