Document Type
Article
Abstract
Study Background: Teres major muscle of the scapular region, is located inferior to the teres minor. This connects the humerus bone with scapula posteriorly.
Research Goals and Hypotheses: The aim was to report a teres major muscle insertion in which the said muscle merged with the triceps brachii and latissimus dorsi.
Methodological Approach: This present case was observed in a female cadaver on the left side.
Results and Discoveries: The anatomical variation of teres major muscle is rarely documented. This muscle has anatomical importance of forming the intermuscular spaces and the clinical importance of repair of rotator cuff muscle tendons. Teres major muscle along with the latissmus dorsi, adducts and medially rotates the arm and assists in the extension of shoulder joint.
