Abstract (AI)
A familiarity with the anatomy of some types of bone anomalies is necessary for clinicians involved in many medical areas. The aim of this paper is to review the newest literature concerning the morphology, embryology, clinical image, and therapeutic methods of the cervical ribs in the humans. The incidence of cervical ribs has been found to vary from 0.58% in Malaysian population to 6.2% in Turkish population. Cervical ribs have clinical implications that are generally divided into neurological or vascular. This study is of particular importance for clinicians, as early identification of cervical ribs may prevent life-threatening complications.
Key Findings
1
Cervical rib incidence varies substantially across populations, ranging from 0.58% in Malaysians to 6.2% in Turks.
2
Cervical ribs have primarily neurological or vascular clinical manifestations.
3
Early identification of cervical ribs may help prevent potentially life-threatening complications.
4
The review covers cervical rib morphology, embryology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic approaches relevant to clinical practice.
