Costal Cartilage Fractures as Revealed on CT and Sonography

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Roentgenology, 2001
We describe the CT and sonographic appearance of 15 costal cartilage fractures observed in eight patients.On CT, fracture was seen as a low-density area through the costal cartilage, with surrounding calcifications present near old fractures, and gas density within the cleft in some cases.

Cough-induced costal cartilage fracture

Clinical Imaging, 2019
We present two cases of atraumatic costal cartilage fracture secondary to violent coughing. Although costal cartilage fractures due to trauma and bony rib fractures due to violent coughing have been described, to our knowledge there have been no prior reported cases of cough-induced costal cartilage fracture.

Isolated costal cartilage fracture: an unusual cause of an anterior chest mass in a toddler

Pediatric Radiology, 2009
A 17-month-old boy presented with a palpable anterior chest wall mass and was evaluated by chest radiography, sonography, and MRI. No history of trauma was provided initially. Sonography and MRI showed a costal cartilage fracture with overlying hematoma.

Les fractures du cartilage costal : un diagnostic souvent méconnu

Journal De Traumatologie Du Sport, 2011
Resume La fracture du cartilage costal est une lesion traumatique rare mais dont la frequence est probablement sous-estimee. Cette lesion, non visible sur les radiographies, est pourtant de diagnostic simple en echographie, en tomodensitometrie et en IRM.

Costal Cartilage Fractures and Disruptions in a Rugby Football Player

Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, 2013
Costal cartilage fracture of the rib cage, or costochondral, is a rare sporting injury. For contact athletes, the instability of the rib cage may lead to potential serious complications, similar to rib fractures or thorax disruption. Most authors recommend initial conservative treatment with surgery reserved for only recalcitrant cases.

Radiological insights into costal margin rupture injuries: patterns of associated rib and costal cartilage fractures

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery
Costal margin ruptures (CMR), though rare, are often associated with rib fractures and intercostal hernia. Injuries to the costal cartilages are often poorly recognised. Surgical stabilisation of rib fractures without fixing the CMR is known to result in failure of metalwork.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of costal cartilage fractures unnoticed by the conventional radiographic study and multidetector computed tomography

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2011
Rib fractures are the most common injuries resulting from blunt chest trauma. However, costal cartilage fractures are almost invisible on chest X-rays unless they involve calcified cartilage. The sensitivity of conventional radiography and computed tomography for detecting rib fractures is limited, especially in cases where rib cartilage is involved ...

Characteristics and time-dependence of cut marks and blunt force fractures on costal cartilages: an experimental study

Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2016
The distinction between cut marks and blunt force injuries on costal cartilages is a crucial issue in the forensic field. Moreover, a correct distinction may further be complicated by decomposition, so the need arises to investigate the distinctive features of lesions on cartilage and their changes over time.This study aimed to assess the ...
