Costovertebral joints, seen from front, intra-articular ligament labeled at lower left. The costovertebral joints are the joints that connect the ribs to the vertebral column. The articulation of the head of rib connects the head of the rib and the bodies of vertebrae. The costotransverse joint connects the rib with the transverse processes of ...
The costotransverse joint is the joint formed between the facet of the tubercle of the rib and the adjacent transverse process of a thoracic vertebra. The costotransverse joint is a plane type of synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement. [citation needed] This costotransverse joint is present in all but ...
72323. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The sternocostal joints, also known as sternochondral joints or costosternal articulations, are synovial plane joints of the costal cartilages of the true ribs with the sternum. [1] The only exception is the first rib, which has a synchondrosis joint since the cartilage is directly united with ...
Costovertebral angle tenderness. Costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness is pain that results from touching the region inside of the costovertebral angle. [1] The CVA is formed by the 12th rib and the spine. [1] Assessing for CVA tenderness is part of the abdominal exam, and CVA tenderness often indicates kidney pathology.
Costochondral joint. The costochondral joints are the joints between the ribs and costal cartilage in the front of the rib cage. They are hyaline cartilaginous joints (i.e. synchondrosis or primary cartilagenous joint). Each rib has a depression shaped like a cup that the costal cartilage articulates with. There is normally no movement at these ...
In anatomy, Luschka's joints (also called uncovertebral joints, neurocentral joints) [1] are formed between uncinate process or "uncus" below and uncovertebral articulation above. [2] They are located in the cervical region of the vertebral column from C3 to C7. [3] Two lips project upward from the superior surface of the vertebral body below ...
FMA. 10440. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] The transverse costal facet (or transverse costal fovea) is one of the costal facets, a site where a rib forms a joint with the transverse process of a thoracic vertebra.
D020393. Spinal manipulation is an intervention performed on synovial joints of the spine, including the z-joints, the atlanto-occipital, atlanto-axial, lumbosacral, sacroiliac, costotransverse and costovertebral joints. It is typically applied with therapeutic intent, most commonly for the treatment of low back pain. [1]
