Brief Answer:
There is no surgical treatment available for this.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
You might had rib fracture at that time which was healed wrongly and now gives you symptoms.
There is no way, surgically, we can correct it.
You have to take symptomatic treatment in the form of oral medicines, local painkiller creams, lotion, and physiotherapy modalities like ultrasound, warm water pad and ice packs application.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
