Anatomical terminology

The intra-articular ligament of head of rib[1] is a ligament of the articulation of head of rib[3] situated within the joint capsule.[3][2] It takes the shape of a short, flat band.[4] It joins the crest of head of rib (between the superior costal articular facet and inferior costal articular facet[4][2] - thus dividing the joint cavity into two compartments[4]), and the intervertebral disc.[3][2][4][5] It is absent in ribs I and X-XII.[4]
