Flaring of the anterior ribs is commonly associated with conditions such as pectus carinatum, which is characterized by a protrusion of the sternum and ribs. It can also be seen in certain postural abnormalities and respiratory issues, where the rib cage may adopt altered shapes due to compensatory mechanisms. Additionally, flaring can occur in individuals with hyperinflation of the lungs, often seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
