Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]
The costotransverse joint is an articulation between the articular tubercle of a typical rib with the costal facet of a transverse process of a thoracic vertebra.1
The following costotransverse ligaments connect the costotransverse joint2:
- ligamentum costotransversarium superius.
- ligamentum costotransversarium.
- ligamentum costotransversarium laterale.
- A study on
human cadavers has also found what were referred to as “inferior and posterior costotransverse ligaments”, the latter identified on the fifth to tenth ribs.3
These ligaments limit movement in the costotransverse joint to slight gliding.
