All of the twelve ribs articulate posteriorly with the vertebrae of the spine.

There are two articulation points on the posterior or the dorsal side of the ribs.

  • Costotransverse joint – Between the tubercle of the rib, and the transverse costal facet of the corresponding vertebrae.
  • Costovertebral joint – Between the head of the rib, superior costal facet of the corresponding vertebrae, and the inferior costal facet of the vertebrae above.
