SRS Causes

The causes of slipping rib syndrome are unclear, although several risk factors have been reported

Sudden extension or flexion, repeated one-sided weight bearing, or exercise such as throwing a ball, vigorous swimming, or swinging a bat may be implicated.

A history of physical trauma resulting from repetitive upper body movements coupled with high physical demands.

Reported incidents in which no history of traumatic impact to the chest wall has been described are considered a gradual onset.

Some people may be born with a structural abnormality or develop abnormalities of the chest wall, making them more prone to developing slipped rib syndrome.

Reported during pregnancy, the muscles and ligaments supporting the ribcage may weaken and stretch, increasing the risk of developing slipped rib syndrome.

It can be caused by the degeneration of muscle tissue attached to the ligaments and the surrounding tissue.

Reported due to the presence of rib flare and other chest wall problems such as pectus deformities.

Reported due to Kyphosis (An increased front-to-back curve of the spine ) and Scoliosis.(An abnormal lateral curvature of the spine)

Reported due to Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

12th Rib Syndrome

”12th rib syndrome” is Involved in the floating ribs (11th–12th), a hypermobility of the 11th-12th ribs irritating the surrounding tissues and nervous systems.

Costochondritis

Costochondritis is a chest wall pain caused by inflammation of the costal cartilage or the area where the ribs meet the sternum, known as sternal articulations.

Tietze Syndrome

Tietze Syndrome is an atypical cause of anterior chest pain characterized by localized tenderness and non-suppurative swelling, usually associated with the 2nd or 3rd costal cartilages unilaterally.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

An inherited connective tissue disorder that is caused by defects in a protein called collagen. It is generally considered the least severe form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), although significant complications can occur.

Outcomes in adult pectus excavatum patients undergoing Nuss repair

Pectus excavatum (PEx) is one of the most common congenital chest wall deformities. Depending on the severity, presentation of PEx may range from minor cosmetic issues to disabling cardiopulmonary symptoms.
