The rib cartilage is usually located on both sides of the sternum and can generally be divided into the 2nd-7th rib cartilage and the 8th-10th rib cartilage, of which the 2nd-7th rib cartilage forms a joint with the sternum through the corresponding rib notch, which is a micromobile joint, and the front end of the 8th-10th rib cartilage is not directly connected to the sternum, but forms a cartilaginous connection with the superior rib cartilage in turn, forming a rib arch on each side. Therefore, the rib cartilage mainly forms part of the thorax and can cause fractures of the rib cartilage if trauma occurs. If there is bacterial or viral infection, it can easily cause inflammation of the rib cartilage, and the patient will have local pain, swelling, and restricted movement, which can lead to rapid relief of rib cartilage damage and inflammation after timely treatment.
