The costoclavicular joint.

I Redlund-Johnell

    Skeletal Radiology
    |January 1, 1986

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Radiologists discovered a rare costoclavicular joint, a variant ligament connection, in two patients. This anatomical finding was incidentally noted during cervical spine imaging surveys.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Radiology
    • Skeletal Biology

    Background:

    • The costoclavicular joint represents an anatomical variant of the ligamentous connection between the medial clavicle and the first rib.
    • Anatomical variations require thorough documentation in radiological literature for diagnostic accuracy.

    Observation:

    • Two instances of the costoclavicular joint were incidentally identified during a survey of cervical spine radiographs.
    • A subsequent review of 500 consecutive spine radiographs did not reveal any additional cases.

    Findings:

    • This study reports the first documented cases of the costoclavicular joint in radiological literature.
    • The prevalence of this specific anatomical variant appears to be low based on this survey.

    Implications:

    • Recognition of this variant is crucial for radiologists to avoid misinterpretation of cervical spine imaging.
    • Further research may be warranted to determine the full prevalence and clinical significance of the costoclavicular joint.
