Calcification of the rib cartilage is also known as a foci of calcified bone that can be seen in the location of the cartilage growth itself during a radiograph or CT examination. This condition is usually due to chronic injury or trauma to the rib cartilage, resulting in the formation of chronic aseptic inflammatory lesions, and the deposition of calcium salts in the process of absorption of these inflammatory metabolites, resulting in calcification and osteophytes. It is also possible that local strains or strains at the junction of the bone and the surrounding muscle tissue, as well as cold, will also form lesions, and with the prolongation of time in the inflammatory deposition, local calcification will also occur. After this situation, if there are no related symptoms do not need to carry out special treatment, if there is obvious pain, can be warm, hot compresses and other ways to effectively relieve the symptoms of pain discomfort. If the pain is very obvious and conservative treatment is not effective, surgery can be considered to remove the local calcified lesion.
