Costal cartilage resection for the treatment of slipping rib syndrome (Cyriax syndrome) in adults.

Conclusions: Slipping rib syndrome of the adult is an overlooked cause of chest or abdominal pain which diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. Costal cartilage excision allows short to mid-terms effective and reliable treatment to reduce symptoms and life disturbance but does not exclude late pain recurrence. PMID: 32055418 [PubMed]
