“…The loosened rib cartilage may sublux superiorly with activities such as respiratory movements, certain movements of the thorax and upper extremities, or with external influences such as palpation by the examiner. The rib end may also sublux across the medial attachment site or another rib border, creating a sensation to the patient of a popping, clicking, snapping, grating or ‘giving way’ sensation simultaneously associated with a sudden, often severe, exacerbation in pain (3). Pain may then may fade away over the course of minutes to 1–2 h, or may persist as a lesser, dull pain punctuated by severe periodic exacerbations induced by subluxations.…”

The slipping rib syndrome is an infrequent cause of thoracic and upper abdominal pain and is thought to arise from the inadequacy or rupture of the interchondral fibrous attachments of the anterior ribs. This disruption allows the costal cartilage tips to sublux, impinging on the intercostal nerves. Children with this entity are seldom described in the literature. We present a retrospective review of 12 children and young adults with slipping rib syndrome and a systematic approach for evaluation and treatment.

“…Most reports on the syndrome have been limited to the adult population. Reported cases in children have been sparse (3–9). We report 12 children with slipping rib syndrome and present a systematic approach for diagnosis and definitive surgical treatment of this disorder.…”

“…This may cause a variety of somatic and visceral complaints. [12345] Although the diagnosis may be made based on history and physical examination, lack of recognition of this disorder frequently leads to extensive diagnostic evaluations before definitive therapy. We depict the case study of three patients with painful rib syndrome who presented within a year's time.…”

“…Cases have been reported in children as young as 12 years through individuals in their mid-80s, with the syndrome affecting females slightly more than males. [456] Bilateral cases have been reported but the condition is almost always unilateral, with pain localized to the tip of the 10 th , 11 th , or 12 th rib, which might be exacerbated by movement.

“…16 The literature has many examples of needless laparoto¬ mies performed to diagnose what seemed to be visceral pain. [1][2][3][4][5] The pur¬ pose of this report is to emphasize the existence of a common chest wall syn¬ drome that can be diagnosed by a simple "hooking maneuver" on physi¬ cal examination. The syndrome should be considered in the differ¬ ential diagnosis of abdominal and chest pain.…”
