This review seeks to draw attention to the existence of the 'slipping rib syndrome' as a not uncommon clinical entity. It is characterized by trunk pain in a radicular distribution, often related to certain movements or activity, but not associated with other visceral symptoms. The diagnosis is a clinical one, with surgical excision of the affected rib and costal cartilage a successful simple treatment for relieving those patients of a severe and persistent pain syndrome.
本综述旨在提请注意“滑脱肋综合征”这一并非罕见的临床病症的存在。其特征为呈神经根性分布的躯干疼痛，常与特定动作或活动相关，但与其他内脏症状无关。诊断依靠临床判断，对受累肋骨及肋软骨进行手术切除是一种成功且简单的治疗方法，可使患者摆脱严重且持续的疼痛综合征。
