Regarding the location of costochondritis, general costochondritis is divided into three types, as follows: First, if infectious costochondritis, it has a relationship with the wound site and the chest surgery site, and the general bacteria are infected by trauma or surgery site. In this case, there will generally be local bacterial infection, which will be at the injured and operated site, and then expand from there. Second, if tuberculosis or other typhoid fever, non-surgical osteitis, and bacterial invasion of the site and the site of primary tuberculosis. Third, if it is non-specific osteitis, this situation is not caused by bacterial infection, but may be caused by other reasons, such as fatigue, trauma or other cold, cough and other osteitis. In this case, it is good to occur in the 2-4 positions of the ribs. Generally, the 2nd rib is more common. It is more common in women. This situation can be manifested as chest pain. Sometimes, there is a lump in the cartilage of the 2nd rib. There may be cough, swelling and tenderness.
