Accessory caudal ribs are reported as an extremely curious anomaly in five patients. Once the fracture of this rib was a source of pains after injury. The different shapes of the ribs are documented in this clinical survey which is the most extensive in the present literature. Anomalous ribs arise due to inappropriate segmentation during the embryonal development of the axial skeleton.
据报道，副尾肋在五名患者中是一种极其罕见的异常情况。一旦这种肋骨骨折，就会在受伤后引发疼痛。本次临床调查记录了肋骨的不同形状，这是目前文献中最全面的。异常肋骨是由于轴向骨骼胚胎发育过程中节段划分不当而产生的。
