	Teres minor muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Teres minor is a narrow, elongated muscle of the rotator cuff.
		The tendon of this muscle passes across, and is united with, the posterior part of the capsule of the shoulder-joint.
		Sometimes a group of muscle fibres from teres minor may be fused with infraspinatus.

	Supraspinatus muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The supraspinatus muscle is supplied by the suprascapular nerve (C4, C5, and C6), which arises from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus and passes laterally through the posterior triangle of the neck and through the scapular notch on the superior border of the scapula.
		It is often described as being the initiator of abduction as it is the main antagonist muscle for this movement during the first 15 degrees of its arc.
		The supraspinatus muscle is one of the musculotendinous support structures called the rotator cuff that surround and enclose the shoulder.

		The brachiocephalicus muscle is retracted medially, exposing the cranial aspect of the proximal humerus and the insertions of the supraspinatus, deltoideus and superficial and deep pectoral muscles [Fig.
		The exposed insertion of the deep pectoral muscle is elevated from the humerus and retracted medially, exposing the biceps brachii muscle and the tendon in the intertubercular groove [Fig.

		The teres minor muscle arises from the upper two third of the dorsal aspect of the lateral border of the scapula and inserts onto the lower facet of the greater tuberosity and joint capsule.
		In the early stages of abduction, the teres minor is active to depress and stabilize the humeral head and the muscle force of the teres minor is equal and opposite to that of the deltoid, forming a force couple.

		These muscles arise from the scapula and connect to the head of the humerus forming a cuff at shoulder joint.
		Teres minor muscle, comes from the lateral border of the scapula, and also laterally rotates the arm.

		Thus, the lumbrical muscles, assisted by the interossei muscles, function as the primary extensors of the PIP and DIP joints.
		The deltoid muscle is the primary abductor of the glenohumeral joint (assisted by the supraspinatus) and the teres minor muscle externally rotates the humerus and pulls it down during elevation, a necessary motion for full over head range.
		Dysfunction of the rotator cuff muscles may also result in impingement of the greater tubercle against the coracoacromial ligament after 60 degrees of elevation since these muslces are also responsible for external rotation of the humerus during elevation.

		Muscle, teres minor: A muscle that assists the lifting of the arm during outward turning (external rotation) of the arm.
		The tendon of the teres minor muscle is one of four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and constitute the rotator cuff.
		The teres minor muscle was given that name because it was round and smaller than another round muscle which naturally came to be known as the teres major muscle.

		These muscles lie adjacent to each other and originate on the scapula (shoulder blade) and insert in the humerus (the long bone in the upper arm) and comprise two of the four muscles known as the rotator cuff.
		When the infraspinatus (the muscle on the shoulder blade) and teres minor (the muscle under the shoulder blade) are fully developed, the contrast between these muscles and the lats is amazingly amplified.
		The teres minor and the infraspinatus are relatively weak muscles.

		This muscle is an extensor of the shoulder.
		The supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles are innervated by the suprascapular nerve.
		These muscles, as well as the subscapularis muscle, are important for stabilizing the shoulder joint, since this joint does not have collateral ligaments as do the other joints of the limb.

	SONOGRAPHIC SIGNIFICANCE OF IMAGING THE ROTATOR CUFF
		The supraspinatus muscle courses anterolaterally, at an angle of approximately 45 degrees with respect to the coronal plane, to its insertion on the most superior of the three facets of the greater tuberosity (the shelf).
		The teres minor muscle inserts into the inferior aspect of the posterior portion of the greater tuberosity.
		Minor deviation from this orientation is manifested by a dramatic reduction in tendon echogenicity that may be mistaken for a tear.

		Horner syndrome does not occurs with Kumpke palsy, which occur as the result of an injury beyond the ventral ramus because the sympathetic fibers leave the brachial plexus at this level (Figure 221.1).
