<br />
The '''Spine of Scapula''' is a prominent bony feature on the [[Scapula|scapula]] (shoulder blade) in the human body. It is a ridge that runs diagonally across the dorsal side of the scapula, dividing it into two regions: the [[Supraspinatus muscle|supraspinous]] and [[Infraspinatus muscle|infraspinous]] fossae.<br />
<br />
== Anatomy ==<br />
<br />
The spine of the scapula starts from the medial border and extends towards the lateral border. It is a thin, flat bone that is roughly triangular in shape. The spine is elevated and forms a ridge that is palpable under the skin. It ends laterally in an enlarged, roughened area known as the [[Acromion]].<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
<br />
The spine of the scapula serves as an attachment site for several muscles, including the [[Trapezius muscle|trapezius]] and [[Deltoid muscle|deltoid]]. It also provides a boundary between the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, which are part of the [[Rotator cuff|rotator cuff]].<br />
<br />
== Clinical Significance ==<br />
<br />
Injuries or abnormalities of the spine of the scapula can lead to shoulder pain and limited range of motion. Conditions such as [[Scapular fracture|scapular fractures]] or [[Winged scapula|winged scapula]] can affect the spine of the scapula.<br />
