The lateral costotransverse ligament is a short, thick, though[1] ligament of the costotransverse joint which strengthens the joint posteriorly.[2] It connects (the rough, non-articular portion of) the tubercle of a rib, and the transverse process of the corresponding vertebra.[1]

It extends obliquely: at the upper ribs, it is directed inferior-ward from the ribs; at the lower ribs, it is directed superior-ward from the ribs. It is more oblique and shorter at the upper ribs.[1]
