		The Serratus posterior inferior (Serratus posticus inferior) (Fig.
		The Serratus posterior superior elevates the ribs and is therefore an inspiratory muscle.
		The Serratus posterior inferior draws the lower ribs downward and backward, and thus elongates the thorax; it also fixes the lower ribs, thus assisting the inspiratory action of the diaphragm and resisting the tendency it has to draw the lower ribs upward and forward.

	Latissimus
		The latissimus dorsi muscle is the largest muscle in the body, up to 20 by 40 centimeters, allowing coverage of extremely large wounds.
		With the rectus muscle and radial forearm flap, it represents one of the workhorse flaps in reconstructive microsurgery.
		Anterior and posterior flaps are raised superficial to the muscle to expose the latissimus.

	BUNCKE CLINIC
		Preoperatively, the inferior border of the latissimus dorsi muscle is palpable proximally in the posterior axillary fold.
		The position of the dominant vascular pedicle to the latissimus from the subscapular-thoracodorsal axis is estimated at the apex of the axilla, entering the proximal portion of the latissimus muscle beneath its anterior border in the posterior axillary fold.
		The serratus anterior muscle is identified during the dissection, extending from the angles of the scapula to the ribs anteriorly.

	Back muscles
		The external oblique is a large, thin sheet of overlapping muscle that runs along the side of the torso and partly on the front from the lower ribs to the rectus, the pubis bone, and the iliac crest of the hip.
		The serratus anterior (serratus magnus) is a large quadrilateral muscle that curves along the rib cage.
		This muscle is used to turn and tilt the head, raise and twist the arms, and to shrug or steady the shoulders.

		The nerve that innervates muscles in the posterior compartment of the arm is radial nerve.
		The nerve that innervates teres minor is a branch of the posterior cord.
		Serratus anterior is also the primary lateral rotator of the scapula, which is necessary for complete abduction (trapezius also laterally rotates the scapula, but it isn't strong enough to complete the action by itself).

		Serratus posterior superior is a thin quadrilateral muscle that descends laterally, superficial to the thoracic part of thoracolumbar fascia, and deep to rhomboids.
		Serratus posterior superior originates on a thin aponeurosis from the lower part of the ligamentum nuchae, the spines of the seventh cervical and upper two or three thoracic vertebrae and their supraspinous ligaments.
		Serratus posterior superior is innervated by the second, third, fourth and fifth intercostal nerves.

		The omohyoid muscle was resected to allow access to the scalene fat pad and to remove a potential compressive structure of the brachial plexus.
		Its lack of substance in relation to the bulk of the serratus anterior muscle teleologically predisposes the neuromuscular unit to dysfunction.
		Prior to closure, an examination of the superior- most and inferior margins of the surgical wound was performed to identify and release compressive fascial bands potentially capable of causing compression of the upper trunk and the long thoracic nerve.

	thoracolumbar fascia and back pain \| Warren Hammer
		Recent evidence has shown that the posterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia is used for load transfer, i.e., the transfer of forces between the spine, pelvis and legs.
		This knowledge emphasizes the fact that local pain - for example, in the sacroiliac (SI) joint - may be due to any of the structures associated with the transfer of forces from, for example, the biceps femoris, to the sacrotuberous ligament, to the erector spinae, to the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), to the contralateral latissimus dorsi.
		The TLF is composed of a deep and superficial lamina which covers the back muscles from the sacral region through the thoracic region as far as the fascia nuchae.

		The pectoralis major muscle is a broad muscle that extends from its origin on the medial clavicle and lateral sternum to its insertion on the humerus.
		Because the serratus anterior underlies the lateral aspect of the breast, in aesthetic surgery, blunt elevation of the pectoralis major laterally inadvertently elevates a small portion of the serratus muscle.
		It is an elongated muscle that runs from its origin at the crest of the pubis and interpubic ligament to its insertion at the xiphoid process and cartilages of the fifth through seventh ribs.

	eMedicine - Shoulder Impingement Syndrome : Article Excerpt by Thomas M DeBerardino
		The supraspinatus muscle is responsible for initiating abduction, the infraspinatus and teres minor muscles control external rotation, and the subscapularis muscle controls internal rotation.
		Arthroscopic studies of these patients note impingement between the posterior superior edge of the glenoid and the insertion of the rotator cuff tendon with the arm placed in the throwing position (abducted and externally rotated).
		Lesions were noted along the area of impingement at the posterior aspect of the glenoid labrum and articular surface of the rotator cuff.

		Considerable controversy exists as to the constancy of a bursa in connection with the levator scapulae, which may be inserted in two layers enfolding the medial border of the scapula, and a second bursa found in the areolar tissue between the two layers.
		In the case of the C7 radiculopathy, usually down the posterior aspect of the upper arm (triceps muscle) into the middle finger associated with weakness of the triceps and wrist extensors, diminution of the triceps reflex and hypesthesia in the C7 dermatome.
		The region involved is somewhat lateral to the medial superior scapula border (at least 3-4 finger breadths in a normal sized individual) (Figure 7), so the tender area is clearly differentiated from the medial angle of the scapula where the levator scapulae muscle inserts in the scapulocostal syndrome.
