Abstract

—An unusual case of rib pseudoarthrosis at the ninght rib in in a 22-year-old woman is presented. Pseudoarthrosis at the first rib has been previously reported, but this is the first case affecting other localisation in the chest wall. Differential diagnosis is made upon clinical presentation and radiological features. Usually ribs fractures and stress fractures heal with an adequate resting period but, if pain persist, segmental costectomy can be indicated.
