| short rib-polydactyly syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and incompatible with life. The main features are narrow thorax, short ribs, scapular and pelvic dysplasia, and polydactyly. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| slipping rib | Subluxation of a rib cartilage, with costochondral separation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| slipping rib cartilage | Subluxation of rib cartilage, at the costo-chondral junction, causing pain and audible click. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neck of rib | The flattened portion of a rib between the head and the tuberosity. Synonym: collum costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elevator muscle of rib | musculus levator costae, elevator muscle of rib, musculi levatores costarum |
| tubercle of rib | The knob on the posterior surface of a rib, at the junction of its neck and shaft, which articulates with the transverse process of the vertebra, whch corresponds in number to the rib, forming a costotransverse joint. Synonym: tuberculum costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| joint of head of rib | The synovial joint between a rib and bodies of two adjacent vertebrae; the joint cavity is divided by an intra-articular ligament which attaches to the intervertebral disk; the first, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ribs articulate with only one vertebra. Synonym: articulatio capitis costae, capitular joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| false rib | <anatomy> Five lower ribs on either side that do not articulate with the sternum directly. Synonym: costae spuriae, vertebrochondral ribs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unilateral rib notching | <radiology> Aortic coarctation, proximal to left subclavian artery most likely to be right, anomalous right subclavian artery most likely to be left, subclavian artery stenosis / atresia, most likely to be IPSIlateral, Blalock-Taussig shunt, anastamosis of subclavian artery to pulmonary artery, for Tetralogy of Fallot, most likely to be IPSIlateral (12 Dec 1998) |
| lumbar rib | An occasional rib articulating with the transverse process of the first lumbar vertebra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apophysial fracture | Separation of apophysis from bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular fracture | A fracture involving the joint surface of a bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atlas fracture | <radiology> Incidence: 4% of cervical spine injuries, site: posterior arch, anterior arch, massa lateralis, Jefferson fracture associated with: fractures of C7 (25%), fractures of C2 pedicle (15%), extraspinal fractures (58%) (12 Dec 1998) |
| avulsion fracture | A fracture that occurs when a joint capsule, ligament, or muscle insertion of origin is pulled from the bone as a result of a sprain dislocation or strong contracture of the muscle against resistance; as the soft tissue is pulled away from the bone, a fragment or fragments of the bone may come away with it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axis fracture | <radiology> Incidence: 6% of cervical spine injuries, associated with atlas fractures in 8%, hyperflexion injury: odontoid fracture, type I avulsion of tip of odontoid (5-8%) difficult to detect, type II fracture through base of dens (54-67%) complication: nonunion, type III subdental injury (30-33%) prognosis: good, Differential diagnosis: os odontoideum, ossiculum terminale, hypoplasia/aplasia of dens, hyperextension injury: hangman's fracture (12 Dec 1998) |
