Persistent transverse articulation of the sternal body with monarthritis.
Monarthritis of the manubriosternal joint is a known but uncommon disease. A case is presented with the tissue type HLA-B27 and monarthritis of a persistent transverse articulation of the sternal body. To our knowledge this is a unique case, but with the same etiology as similar changes of the manubrio-sternal joint.
