What is interesting is . The costotransverse joint is where a small notch near the head of the rib (the tubercle) connects with the vertebra's lateral extension (the transverse process). Since trauma is the main reason for a transverse process fracture it is perfectly reasonable to assume Jones punch hit so hard it pushed the ribs to break the transverse process. It is also a very common broken bone caused by trauma.
