		A fibrous slip usually passes from the lower border of the tendon of the Latissimus dorsi, near its insertion, to the long head of the Triceps brachii.
		The lateral margin of the Latissimus dorsi is separated below from the Obliquus externus abdominis by a small triangular interval, the lumbar triangle of Petit, the base of which is formed by the iliac crest, and its floor by the Obliquus internus abdominis.
		It is bounded above by the Trapezius, below by the Latissimus dorsi, and laterally by the vertebral border of the scapula; the floor is partly formed by the Rhomboideus major.

		Reversed pedicled latissimus dorsi flap is obtained by elevation of the muscle from the segmental pedicle.
		The aim of this study was to change the pivotal point of latissimus dorsi and create a new rotational arc in rats using vascular delay and thus to increase its use and to shorten the period of delay using chemical delay.
		In this study, vascular delay in which first thoracodorsal artery, the main vascular pedicle of latissimus dorsi flap in the rats, was ligated and then separated had a strong effect on the flap survival and the flap could survive on the nondominant vascular pedicle.

		The latissimus dorsi is a stronger shoulder adductor when the shoulder is somewhat externally rotated.
		The biarticulate latissimus dorsi enters passive insufficiency through the completion of shoulder flexion and abduction when the scapula is more rotated upward, elevated and abducted.
		The biarticulate latissimus dorsi enters active insufficiency through the completion of shoulder adduction when the scapula is more rotated downward and depressed or through the completion of shoulder extension when the shoulder girdle is more protracted and depressed.

		The latissimus dorsi is the large, flat, dorso-lateral muscle on the; trunk, posterior to the arm, and partly covered by the spinotrapezius on its median dorsal region.
		The latissimus dorsi is a triangular, flat muscle, which covers the lumbar region and the lower half of the thoracic region, and is gradually contracted into a narrow fasciculus at its insertion into the humerus.
		The latissimus dorsi is responsible for extension, adduction, transverse extension, and internal rotation of the shoulder joint.

		The purpose of the study is to determine muscle activation level, expressed as a percent of a normalization contraction, of the latissimus dorsi, biceps brachii and middle trapezius/rhomboids muscle groups during a series of different exercise tasks.
		The highest latissimus dorsi to biceps ratio of activation occurred during the wide grip pulldown and the seated row.
		Conclusion Variations in latissimus dorsi exercises are capable of producing small changes in the myoelectric activity of the primary movers.

		On each side, latissimus dorsi is a muscle that acts primarily upon the glenohumeral joint.

		In fact, the teres major is best thought of as the latissimus dorsi’s "little helper." The teres major originates posteriorly on the inferior (lower) of the lateral border of the spacula and inserts at the upper part of the humerous.
		The insertion point of the latissimus dorsi is at the medial side of the upper humerous.
		The latissimus dorsi is strengthened by rows, lat pulldowns, pullovers and chins.

		Reconstruction with the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap produces a breast with ptosis and projection while maintaining the natural consistency and feel of normal tissue.
		The latissimus dorsi was believed to be a mirror image of the pectoralis muscles, and it could serve to mimic the soft tissue defect left after removal of these structures.
		Hutchins described 12 successful cases in his report, in which he also noted that the latissimus dorsi transfer was useful in preventing edema while concurrently providing a healthy base for skin grafts and laying the foundation for rec.....

		This procedure is similar to a TRAM flap but the tissue used to reconstruct the breast comes from the latissimus dorsi muscle in the back.
		In fact, latissimus dorsi flap surgery usually includes inserting an implant under the flap (the tissue moved from the back).
		Latissimus dorsi flap surgery is somewhat easier than the TRAM flap and creates a smaller scar on the breast.

		At operation, the latissimus dorsi flap was found to have formed a constrictive muscle sling that compressed the thoracic outlet.
		At the present admission, the patient complained of numbness of the fourth and fifth digits and of the medial aspect of the right arm; she also reported weakness and swelling, as well as frequent episodes of her arm "going to sleep." Vascular studies of the right arm were positive for thoracic outlet syndrome.
		At operation, the latissimus dorsi flap was found to have been created with undue tension; as a result, it formed a constrictive muscle sling that compressed the thoracic outlet.
