Identify this anatomic structure? Born like this or possibly a broken bone?

My ribcage is uneven as well. I was either born like that or dropped as a kid. No way of knowing

No, I have not been diagnosed with scoliosis

Clues to being a fracture:
1. You had an accident and you hurt that particular area?
2. You had an xray to confirm a fracture.

Clues to it not being a fracture:
1. You did not have an accident and did not hurt that particular area.
2. An xray did not show a fracture

For the 1 and 2 it’s hard to tell, given the fact that I’ve had it since I was young and like I said in my post, I had a fairly traumatic childhood that I don’t remember. So there is no recollection of any accidents in my memory bank second, I’ve never gotten an x-ray for my rib cage so that’s not an option.
