Disarticulated bones

Bone number	Bone type	Bone segments	Bone pathology
B30	Ribs (Heads Only) R	view Bone segment 1: 1 Bone segment 2: 0 Bone segment 3: 0 Bone segment 4: 0 Bone segment 5: 0 Bone segment 6: 0 Bone segment 7: 0 Bone segment 8: 0 Rib segment note: Only the heads of ribs should be counted, i.e. the portion of the ribs with the costo-vertebral and costo-transverse articular facets. These counts are then entered numerically for each side: B30 for right ribs, B32 for left ribs. Rib heads that cannot be sided confidently can be entered in B31. All three cells (B30-32) should add up to no more than 24.
