The radiate ligament of head of rib is a ligament of the costovertebral joint that typically connects the anterior edge of the head of each rib, and the side of the bodies of two adjacent vertebrae and their intervertebral discs.[1][2] The ligament is formed as a thickening of the anterior portion of the joint capsule of the costovertebral joint,[1] and thus reinforces it anteriorly.[3]
