  2. Costochondritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costochondritis

    Costochondritis, also known as chest wall pain syndrome or costosternal syndrome, is a benign inflammation of the upper costochondral (rib to cartilage) and sternocostal (cartilage to sternum) joints. 90% of patients are affected in multiple ribs on a single side, typically at the 2nd to 5th ribs. [1]

  3. Tietze syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tietze_syndrome

    Tietze syndrome typically presents unilaterally at a single joint of the anterior chest wall, with 70% of patients having tenderness and swelling on only one side, usually at the 2nd or 3rd rib. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Research has described the condition to be both sudden [ 4 ] and gradual, varying by the individual.

  4. Costal cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costal_cartilage

    This is a common cause of chest pain. [5] Severe trauma may lead to fracture of the costal cartilage. [6] Such injuries often go unnoticed during x-ray scans, but can be diagnosed with CT scans. [6] Surgery is typically used to fix the costal cartilage back onto either the rib or sternum. [6]

  5. Slipping rib syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipping_rib_syndrome

    Costal cartilage removal, or excision, was first attempted in 1922 by Davies-Colley and has been the technique used by several surgeons since then. This method of surgical repair includes removal of the cartilage affected from the sternum to the boned portion of the rib, with or without preserving the perichondrium.

  6. Relapsing polychondritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relapsing_polychondritis

    Biopsy of nasal cartilage revealed loss of the cartilage matrix and a hyperplastic mucous membrane. Jaksch von Wartenhorst considered this was an undescribed degenerative disorder of cartilage and named it Polychondropathia. He even took his patient's occupation into consideration, and related the cause to excessive alcohol intake. [7]

  7. Neuropathic arthropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathic_arthropathy

    The clinical presentation varies depending on the stage of the disease from mild swelling to severe swelling and moderate deformity. Inflammation, erythema, pain and increased skin temperature (3–7 degrees Celsius) around the joint may be noticeable on examination. X-rays may reveal bone resorption and degenerative changes in the joint.

  8. Soft tissue injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_tissue_injury

    A strain is a type of acute injury that occurs to the muscle or tendon. Similar to sprains, it can vary in severity, from a stretching of the muscle or tendon to a complete tear of the tendon from the muscle. Some of the most common places that strains occur are in the foot, back of the leg (hamstring), or back. [2]

  9. Articular cartilage damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_damage

    Though articular cartilage damage is not life-threatening, it does strongly affect one's quality of life. Articular cartilage damage is often the cause of severe pain, knee swelling, substantial reduction in mobility and severe restrictions to one's activities. Over the last decades, however, research has focused on regenerating damaged joints.
