Innervation

A

Supraspinous Fossa (of scapula)
Greater tubercle of humerus (sup aspect)
Suprascapular nerve

28
Q

Action of Supraspinatus

33
Q

Subscapularis
O
I
Innervation

A

Subscapular fossa
Lesser tubercle of humerus
Upper and Lower Subscapular nerves

34
Q

Subscapularis Action

A

Medial Rotation

35
Q

Triangular Space Borders

A 
Lateral = long head of triceps
Superior = Teres Minor
Inferior = Teres Major
36
Q

What does the triangular space contain>

A

Scapular circumflex artery

37
Q

Quadrangular Space Borders

A 
Lateral = humerus
Medial = long head triceps
Superior = Teres Minor
Inferior = Teres Major
38
Q

Contents of Quadrangular Space

A

Axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery

39
Q

Clinical Applications - fracture of surgical neck of humerus –>

A

Can damage contents of quadrangular space including axillary nerve and post humeral circumflex artery
- Severance of axillary artery would lead to paralysis and eventually atrophy of deltoid and teres major
