What is Costovertebral Joints Overview about?
The costovertebral joints are synovial joints between the ribs and thoracic vertebrae, allowing essential respiratory movements. Each rib forms two joints with corresponding vertebrae, including the joint of the head of the rib and the costotransverse joint, with specific ligaments providing stability. Dysfunction in these joints can lead to thoracic pain and respiratory issues, while rib fractures may also impact their function.
