The results of osteoplastic thoracoplasty in 44 patients with antisocial behaviour and contraindications to lung resection because of the specific process marked activity are presented. Osteoplastic thoracoplasty is advantageous over the other collapse surgery procedures as there is no need of using therapeutic compressing bandages which makes it possible to discharge a patient from a hospital in case of infringing the hospital regimen. The use of osteoplastic thoracoplasty provided the clinical effect in 29.5 per cent of the patients. In 52.3 per cent of the patients it had a stabilizing effect before lung resection. On the whole, clinical rehabilitation at remote periods was stated in 81.8 per cent of the persons with antisocial behaviour.
