It is directed downward and backward under the subscapularis and teres major muscles, rounding the posterior part of the humerus, and passing to the anterior and distal end of the humerus, it finally terminates in the anterior carpal region. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
The subscapular artery (a. subscapularis) the largest branch of the axillary artery, arises at the lower border of the Subscapularis, which it follows to the inferior angle of the scapula, where it anastomoses with the lateral thoracic and intercostal arteries and with the descending branch of the transverse cervical, and ends in the neighboring muscles. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The subscapularis is bruised or torn, the muscles inserted into the great tuberosity are greatly stretched, or the tuberosity itself may be avulsed, allowing the long tendon of the biceps to slip laterally, where it may form an impediment to reduction. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The capsule of the joint is materially strengthened in its upper and back parts by the tendons of the supra - and infra-spinatus and teres minor muscles; while it is weakest below and in front, between the subscapularis and teres major tendons. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The head of the humerus passes out through a small rent in the lower and medial portion of the capsule, and rests against the anterior edge of the triangular surface immediately below the glenoid cavity, supported behind by the long head of the triceps, and in front by the subscapularis muscle. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
If these measures fail, it may be advisable to have recourse to operation; this may consist in tightening up the capsule, the results of which are said to be uncertain, or in detaching a portion of the deltoid or subscapularis muscle and stitching it beneath the joint to cover and strengthen the weakened portion of the capsule. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The maneuver, in effect, trains a muscle below the shoulder blade, the subscapularis, to take over the job of the injured muscle, the supraspinatus, that normally raises the arm from below chest height to above the shoulder. ❋ Unknown (2011)
For all the frustration over Francis straining the subscapularis muscle in his left armpit during his final start of the spring, O'Dowd thought the outing was more important than the injury, which he compared to the one Franklin Morales suffered about the same time a year ago. ❋ 1free1 (2010)
Wednesday's decision arrived a day after Glaus said that he and the club planned to "rethink our plan of attack" regarding his stalled rehab following a procedure to smooth down and clean a stretched subscapularis, a muscle running from above his right chest beneath his shoulder blade to his upper arm. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The rotator cuff is composed of tendons of the supraspinatous, infraspinatous, teres minor and subscapularis muscles.
Complications of anterior type of Motegia's fracture a. It can occur alone on top of severe contraction of include the followings: subscapularis muscle. a. Non-union. b. ❋ Unknown (2008)
(postea-spinatus) biceps-brachii (flexor brachii) and subscapularis muscles. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
