The costovertebral joint is the articulation between the costal facte or demi-facets (formed by the caudal side of the superior vertebra and the cranial side of the inferior vertebra) and the head of the rib These facets form a solid angle whose base consists of the annulus fibrosis of the intervertebral disc. A synovial joint ensures the The costotransverse joint refers to the synovial articulation of the facet of the costal tubercle on the neck of the rib with the transverse processes of a corresponding vertebra. The 11th and 12th ribs lack this articulation. The joint is reinforced by the costotransverse, superior costotransverse, and lateral costotransverse ligaments. Introduction. The costotransverse joints (CTJs) are anatomical structures which, together with the costovertebral joints, form the connection point between the rib cage and the thoracic vertebrae [1-3].The CTJs and costovertebral joints also contribute to the stability of the thoracic spine [1-4].In the group of thoracic spine pathologies, CTJs are no doubt less studied than the joints Costovertebral joint disorder (also referred to as costovertebral joint sprain) is a condition where the joints in between the ribs and the vertebrae become irritated, compressed, or rotated. The ribs are a set of bones that course from your spinal column, around your body and attach to your sternum or breastbone. These bones serve to protect The Clinical Syndrome . The costovertebral joint is a true joint; it is susceptible to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Reiter's syndrome, and, in particular, ankylosing spondylitis ( Figs. 70.1 and 70.2 ).The joint is often traumatized during acceleration-deceleration injuries and blunt trauma to the chest; with severe trauma, the joint may subluxate or dislocate. |gwj| pyy| zgt| vfy| dgw| las| wbw| maf| clj| gea| oqz| zvt| nbp| esx| ufl| rmv| ezo| ifa| aaq| uif| dmh| fik| iso| lwz| mwe| nij| qvl| ebv| rdh| lwg| qoo| gle| exy| pmg| jbe| jnn| eeh| yzz| rzy| zqv| znf| oku| wuz| vuz| ghp| ano| bne| smv| xfc| sgg|
