Description[edit | edit source]
The costotransverse joint is a synovial joint formed by the articular surface of the costal tubercle and the costal facet of the transverse process of the corresponding vertebra.
These joints run from the first thoracic vertebra (T1) to the tenth thoracic vertebra (T10) and are surrounded by a weak articular capsule. This thin capsule is reinforced and strengthened by 3 ligaments:
- The costotransverse ligament
- The lateral costotransverse ligament
- The superior costotransverse ligament
