Definition[Bearbeiten]
The ligamentum capitis costae radiatum is a ligament that fans out radially from the ventral bone surface of the rib head (caput costae) to the neighbouring two thoracic vertebrae and the intervertebral disc (discus intervertebralis) located between them.
It stabilises the rib-vertebral joint.
