Lesions to the supraspinous ligament may result in palpable thickening. [5] Ultrasound is effective for detecting lesions. [5] [6] A strain injury can also damage the supraspinous ligament. [7] The supraspinous ligament creates resistance during midline epidural anaesthetics when the needle is being inserted.
The Supraspinous ligament is a continuation of the nuchal ligament, which begins at the poll and inserts on the withers. The supraspinous ligament attaches to the tops of the remaining thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. These two ligaments in combination provide a link throughout the topline of the horse, aiding in the elastic movement of the body.
The supraspinous 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 .
The interspinous ligaments connect the adjoining spinous processes of the vertebrae. [14] [better source needed] The supraspinous ligament extends the length of the spine running along the back of the spinous processes, from the sacrum to the seventh cervical vertebra. [15] From there it is continuous with the nuchal ligament.
The posterior layer is attached to the spinous processes of lumbar and sacral vertebrae, and to the supraspinous ligament. [ 2 ] : 814–815 At sacral levels, the posterior layer attaches to the posterior superior iliac spines, and posterior iliac crest, fuses with the underlying erector spinae muscle aponeurosis, [ 2 ] : 814–815 and extends ...
The rhomboid major is a skeletal muscle of the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column. [1] It originates from the spinous processes of the thoracic vertebrae T2–T5 and supraspinous ligament; it inserts onto the lower portion of the medial border of the scapula. [2]

The rotator interval is a triangular space in the shoulder that is functionally reinforced externally by the coracohumeral ligament and internally by the superior glenohumeral ligament, and traversed by the intra-articular biceps tendon. On imaging, it is defined by the coracoid process at its base, the supraspinatus tendon superiorly and the ...
