Thoracic and costovertebral subluxation syndromes
The costotransverse joints (CTJs) are anatomical structures that, together with the costovertebral joints, form the connection point between the rib cage and the thoracic vertebrae. The CTJs and costovertebral joints also contribute to the stability of the thoracic spine.
In the group of thoracic spine pathologies, CTJs are no doubt less studied than the joints between the intervertebral facets and those between the vertebral bodies and fibrocartilaginous discs. CTJs can cause a particular form of “thoracic back pain,” which may be difficult to classify in clinical practice.
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 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.
