Supraspinous fascia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supraspinous fascia
Muscles on the dorsum of the scapula, and the Triceps brachii. (Fascia not labeled, but Supraspinatus visible at top right.)
Latin fascia supraspinata
Gray's subject #123 440

The supraspinatous fascia completes the osseofibrous case in which the supraspinatus muscle is contained; it affords attachment, by its deep surface, to some of the fibers of the muscle.

It is thick medially, but thinner laterally under the coracoacromial ligament.
