My Daughter Has A Protruding Xiphoid Process, Angular They Said.

My daughter has a protruding xiphoid process, angular they said. Instead of pointing down, it is curved and pointing outward. She is 12, 5 ft 9 now, went through a big growth spurt. We were referred to an orthopedic doc. What would cause this and what would need to be done to correct it?
