A superior costotransverse ligament is a ligament of the costotransverse joint that attaches onto the crest of the neck of a rib, and onto the transverse process of the vertebra superior to the rib. [1] [2] The ligament may be subdivided into a strong anterior costotransverse ligament, and a weak posterior costotransverse ligament. [1]
The articulations of the heads of the ribs (or costocentral articulations) constitute a series of gliding or arthrodial joints, and are formed by the articulation of the heads of the typical ribs with the costal facets on the contiguous margins of the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae and with the intervertebral discs between them; the first, eleventh and twelfth ribs each articulate with a ...
The medical term for this condition is adhesive capsulitis, and it happens when the shoulder capsule — the tissue surrounding the bones and that holds lubricating joint fluid— becomes inflamed ...
The lateral costotransverse ligament is a short, thick, though [1] ligament of the costotransverse joint which strengthens the joint posteriorly. [2] It connects (the rough, non-articular portion of) the tubercle of a rib, and the transverse process of the corresponding vertebra.
