Anatomical terminology []

A Costotransverse ligament is a short fibrous band that connects a rib with the transverse process of vertebra. They are some of the ligaments that surround the costovertebral joint.

There are three types of costotransverse ligaments in the human body: costo-transverse ligament; lateral costotransverse ligament; and superior costotransverse ligament. In addition, some sources also list the inferior costotransverse ligament, and the posterior costotransverse ligament in this grouping.
