Anatomical terms of bone [edit on Wikidata] |
The deltoid tubercle of spine of scapula is a prominence on the spine of scapula. The spine, at lateral to the root of the spine, curves down and laterally to form a lip.[1] This lip is called the deltoid tubercle.
Muscles
Middle and inferior fibres of trapezius muscle, and deltoid muscle, attached to the deltoid tubercle.[1][2] The deltoid tubercle marks the beginning of attachment of deltoid muscle.[1]
