Congenitally short costocoracoid ligament is a rare condition in which the costocoracoid ligament, which connects the rib to the shoulder blade, is shorter than normal. This can lead to instability of the shoulder joint and can cause pain and discomfort. Treatment typically involves physical therapy and/or surgery to lengthen the ligament.

The symptoms of Congenitally short costocoracoid ligament include:

1. Pain in the shoulder and chest area
2. Limited range of motion in the shoulder
3. Weakness in the shoulder
4. Difficulty lifting the arm above the head
5. Pain when attempting to lift the arm above the head
6. Pain when attempting to rotate the arm inward
7. Pain when attempting to rotate the arm outward
8. Pain when attempting to reach behind the back
9. Pain when attempting to reach across the body

Congenitally short costocoracoid ligament is a rare condition that is caused by a genetic mutation. It is believed to be caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the collagen protein, which is responsible for the formation of the ligament. Other possible causes include environmental factors, such as exposure to certain toxins or radiation, or a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

1. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder and improve range of motion.

2. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to repair the ligament if it is severely damaged or if the shoulder is unstable.

3. Bracing: Bracing can help to support the shoulder and reduce pain.

4. Corticosteroid injections: Corticosteroid injections can help to reduce inflammation and pain.

5. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs can help to reduce pain and inflammation.

1. Genetic predisposition
2. Maternal smoking during pregnancy
3. Maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy
4. Maternal drug use during pregnancy
5. Maternal exposure to environmental toxins during pregnancy
6. Maternal infections during pregnancy
7. Maternal age over 35
8. Low birth weight
9. Premature birth
10. Family history of congenital anomalies

At this time, there is no known cure or medications for congenitally short costocoracoid ligament. Treatment typically involves physical therapy and exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles and improve range of motion. Surgery may be recommended in some cases to lengthen the ligament.
