A 54-year-old black man developed acute pain and swelling of the manubriosternal joint. Acute gouty arthritis was diagnosed by arthrocentesis and polarizing microscopy. The histology of the manubriosternal joint and its involvement in other arthritides are briefly discussed.

Manubriosternal Morphology of Anthropoid Primates.

Am J Biol Anthropol

January 2025

Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, M263 Medical Sciences Building, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, USA.

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to examine the proportions of the manubrium and sternebrae across anthropoid primates to explore variation hypothesized to be related to thoracic shape and locomotor specialization, and to determine whether the sternoclavicular joint orientation in hominoids reflects hypothesized differences in shoulder joint positioning relative to the thorax.

Materials And Methods: Metric data and sternoclavicular joint orientation data were collected from calibrated photographs of manubria and sternebrae from a large sample (n = 244) of extant anthropoid primates, as well as a small sample of fossil taxa. Manubriosternal and rib cage metric data were also collected from CT scans of an additional 52 extant anthropoid torsos.

Although rare, septic arthritis of the manubriosternal and chrondrosternal joints should be considered in the presence of a parasternal mass with fever and/or local signs of inflammation. MRI has an important role in the diagnosis. Blood cultures should be obtained routinely.

Chronic nonbacterial osteitis (CNO) is a rare disease spectrum, which lacks biomarkers for disease activity. Sodium fluoride-18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([F]NaF-PET/CT) is a sensitive imaging tool for bone diseases and yields quantitative data on bone turnover. We evaluated the capacities of [F]NaF-PET/CT to provide structural and functional assessment in adult CNO.
