Is it possible for ribs to detach from the spine?
No, it is not possible for ribs to detach from the spine. The ribs are attached to the spine through ligaments and muscles.
While ribs may appear dislocated, this most likely is a deformity.
Dislocation is only possible in joints, and while ribs attach to the spine through many joints these joints are immobile and allow no range of motion.
