The slipping rib syndrome was first reported in 1919 by Cyriax.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title It is a condition, often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed and can consequently cause months and even years of unresolved pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen, above the costal margin. Other features of the syndrome are a tender spot on the costal margin and reproduction of the pain on pressing the tender spot.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

The condition will lead to a slipping rib under the superior adjacent rib.

• Costochondritis (may affect numerous costochondral joints with no swelling)Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
• Abscesses
• Metastases
• Muscle tears
• Abdominal diseases
Diagnostic Procedures[edit | edit source]
The slipping rib syndrome can be diagnosed by sonography and physical examination. It is often overlooked because of the lack of available paraclinical procedures and because CT scans has almost replaced a thorough clinical examinations for patients with flank pain.1,12,16
• Sonography
Interchondral joints can be precisely depicted with sonography and sequential scanning allows an accurate count of them. On the other hand, high-resolution sonography of the thoracic wall shows accurately the luxation of the cartilaginous rib.
Sonography is also used to exclude other causes of thoracic pain such as rib fractures, Tietze syndrome, abscesses, metastases, muscle tears, pleuritis, and abdominal diseases.12,13
•Physical examination
The hooking maneuver, first described in 1977, is a relatively simple clinical test which can be used to diagnose the syndrome. For more information see examination.1,8
•Radiologic investigation
Generally radiologic imaging is not useful in the diagnosis of slipping rib syndrome, but it can be used to exclude the other conditions in the differential diagnosis.1
