The Thoracic Wall:
Bony Thoracic Cage

Thoracic Wall
• Structure:skin fascia muscle boneblood vessels & nerves
• Functions:1. protection of thoracicviscera
2. provides the mechanical function of breathing

Features of Typical Ribs
1. Head: wedge-shaped with 2 articular facets
2. Neck: connects the head with the body
3. Tubercle: articular & non-articular parts
4. Shaft (Body): angle & costal groove

Atypical Ribs
• 1st ribFlat, scalene tubercle & grooves for subclavian v.
• 2nd ribrough tuberosity for serratus anterior m.
• 10th ribone facet on the head
• 11th & 12th one facet on the head & no neck or tubercle

Clinical: Cervical Rib
• Extra rib arise from C7 vertebra
• Present in 1% of people
• Complications:
Causes pressure on nerves & arteries supplying the
upper limb
Tingling & numbness Partial paralysis

Rib Fractures
• Common chest injuries (middle ribs, 5-10)
• Mostly in weakest part (the angle)
• Present as a sever localized pain
• Complications: inj. to underlying structurespneumothorax (air in pleural cavity)
