Costovertebral joints

Costovertebrales (lat. articulationes costovertebrales) are a pair of joints in the spine, between the VII cervical and I thoracic vertebrae and between the I and II thoracic vertebrae. There are left and right joints of the costovertebral joint.

The costovertebral joint forms part of the costal curve, allowing the spine to tilt sideways and forward. At the junction of the rib with the vertebral body, an articular cavity is formed into which the head of the rib enters. The articular surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage, which provides ease of movement and shock absorption during movement.

The articulating surfaces of the costovertebral joint are covered with hyaline cartilage, which provide ease of movement and shock absorption during movement.

The costovertebral joints are a very important articular structure that is present in the spinal column. It allows people to move freely and comfortably. But unfortunately, if these joints become affected, they can cause serious health damage. Therefore, it is important to know how to properly protect and treat them to avoid further complications.

The joints of the costovertebral joints consist of several components. Among them are vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, and facet segments. Thus, the main element of the joint is the disc cartilage. Also, to ensure the possibility of turns
