An implant for correcting pectus excavatum is disclosed, which comprises a chest correction bar ( 30 ) inserted into a body for lifting a depressed sternum and costal cartilages, and a stabilizer ( 40 ) for being inserted into a distal end of the chest correction bar ( 30 ) to prevent the chest correction bar from being rotated inside the body, wherein the chest correction bar ( 30 ) is formed at both jagged distal ends thereof with recesses ( 33 ) each of a predetermined length along the lengthwise direction of the chest correction bar ( 30 ), and wherein the stabilizer ( 40 ) comprises: two fixing plates ( 41, 41 ') for being fixed to the body of a patient; a bridge ( 42 ) connecting the two fixing plates ( 41, 41 '); two protruders ( 43, 43 ') each generally opposed from the fixing plates ( 41, 41 ') so as to be hitched by the recesses ( 33 ) at the distal ends of the chest correction bar ( 30 ) inserted from under the bridge ( 42 ), where there are formed two spaces (C) each of a predetermined size between the two protuders ( 43, 43 ') and two lateral lengthwise surfaces of the bridge ( 42 ) so that the distal ends of the chest correction bar ( 30 ) can be inserted thereinto, thereby allowing the stabilizer ( 40 ) to be easily inserted into the chest correction bar ( 30 ), and once the insertion is made, pain and infection caused by stimulation on incised portions of a patient can be prevented.
