The costovertebral joint is a synovial joint with a synovial cavity that contains innervations. Costovertebral pain often mimics cardiopulmonary-related pain. Common causes are acceleration or deceleration injuries, blunt trauma to the chest or spine, and overuse or misuse. Subluxation or dislocation of the joint can occur in severe trauma. Costovertebral angle tenderness (CVAT) is a widely used physical examination maneuver to differentiate renal pathology, such as pyelonephritis and ureteral stones. However, limited studies have reported its diagnostic accuracy despite the common use of CVAT particularly in the emergency department (ED) setting. Costovertebral angle is formed by the junction of the 12th, or lowermost, rib with the paravertebral muscles, which run parallel to and on both sides of the vertebral column. Eliciting costovertebral angle tenderness: Position of patient: Sitting or Prone. It is performed by striking the fist of one hand against the dorsal surface of the other The costovertebral joint is the articulation between the costal facte or demi-facets (formed by the caudal side of the superior vertebra and the cranial side of the inferior vertebra) and the head of the rib These facets form a solid angle whose base consists of the annulus fibrosis of the intervertebral disc. A synovial joint ensures the The costovertebral angle is the acute angle formed on either side of the human back between the twelfth rib and the vertebral column. [1] The kidney lies directly below this area, so is the place where, with percussion, pain is elicited when the person has kidney stones or kidney inflamation. The presence of pain is marked as a positive Murphy Costovertebral angle tenderness. Costovertebral angle tenderness. Anatomic relationship of the 12th rib and lumbar vertebrae with lines representing the CVA overdrawn. Costovertebral angle ( CVA) tenderness is pain that results from touching the region inside of the costovertebral angle. [1] The CVA is formed by the 12th rib and the spine.
