The latissimus dorsi is a potential source of muscle for breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy (e.g., Mannu flap) [12] or to correct pectoral hypoplastic defects such as Poland's syndrome. [13] [14] An absent or hypoplastic latissimus dorsi can be one of the associated symptoms of Poland's syndrome. [15] [16]
subscapularis, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi: 2 1 teres minor: Upper limb, Shoulder, rotator cuff, Right/left lateral border of scapula: inferior facet of greater tubercle of humerus: posterior circumflex humeral artery, circumflex scapular artery: axillary nerve: laterally rotates and adducts humerus: subscapularis, pectoralis major ...
Cable pull-down exercise to the front with a medium-width overhand (pronated) grip. The pull-down exercise is a strength training exercise designed to develop the latissimus dorsi muscle. It performs the functions of downward rotation and depression of the scapulae combined with adduction and extension of the shoulder joint.
The latissimus dorsi, to use the muscles' proper name, are the wide, fan-shaped muscles that make up the majority of your mid-back. The lats are especially consequential for several reasons.

The thoracolumbar fascia is thought to be involved in load transfer between the trunk and limb (it is tensioned by the action of the latissimus dorsi muscle, gluteus maximus muscle, and the hamstring muscles), and lifting. [1]: 814–815 It is endowed with nociceptive receptors, and may be involved in some forms of back pain. [1]: 814–815
Pull-ups build up several muscles of the upper body, including the latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and biceps brachii. A pull-up may be performed with overhand (pronated), underhand (supinated)—sometimes referred to as a chin-up—neutral, or rotating hand position.
