Prevelance of the costal cartilage fracture on the computerised tomography in chest trauma
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2020 Radiography remains limited in costal cartilage injuries, and sonography, CT and MR imaging turns out to be more sensitive in the detection of cartilage injuries. This study aims to determine the frequency of costal cartilage fractures detected in the CT images of the patients with high energy chest trauma and to evaluate the association of costal ...

Isolated costal cartilage fractures: the radiographically overlooked injuries
Folia Morphologica, 2017 Isolated costal cartilage fractures are benign and rare. A 65-year-old man had a sustained chest pain after a fist punch in the past month. A 3-dimensional computed tomography revealed left 7th and 8th costal cartilage fractures with fracture dislocations. As he refused an open fracture reduction, he was advised to have a rest with subsequent follow-up.

Detection of Costal Cartilage Fractures on CT Images With Computer-aided Detection System for Rib Fractures. [PDF]
In VivoCostal cartilage fractures are associated with poor prognosis in patients with blunt chest trauma. A Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system for detecting rib fractures has been used in practice, but it is unclear whether this system recognizes costal cartilage fractures.
