Study Notes

Scapula Landmarks

  • The lateral end of the clavicle corresponds to the acromion.
  • From SP C7, move 3 vertebrae inferiorly to locate the medial border of the scapula.
  • The spine of the scapula corresponds to the levator scapulae muscle attachment.
  • The inferior angle of the scapula corresponds to the Teres Major muscle attachment.

Muscle Attachments

  • The spine of the scapula corresponds to the trapezius muscle attachment.
  • The medial border of the scapula corresponds to the rhomboid minor and major muscle attachments.
  • The lateral border of the scapula corresponds to the teres minor muscle attachment.
  • The superior angle of the scapula corresponds to the levator scapulae and omohyoid muscle attachments.
  • The infraspinous fossa corresponds to the infraspinatus muscle attachment.
  • The subscapular fossa corresponds to the subscapularis muscle attachment.
  • The infraglenoid tubercle corresponds to the teres minor muscle attachment.

Positioning and Location

  • To locate the medial border of the scapula, have the patient sit upright.
  • To locate the coracoid process, move medially from the lateral end of the clavicle.
  • To locate the superior angle of the scapula, move superiorly from the medial border of the scapula.
  • To assess the Subscapularis muscle attachment, have the patient flex their arm.
  • To assess the Rhomboid Major & Minor attachment, have the patient sit upright.

Note: Some questions were repetitive, and I have only included each fact once in the study notes.
