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 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 ...
The supraspinatus (pl.: supraspinati) is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinous fossa superior portion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle of the humerus. It is one of the four rotator cuff muscles and also abducts the arm at the shoulder.
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.

It then runs along the superior border of the scapula through the suprascapular canal, [1] in which it enters via the suprascapular notch inferior to the superior transverse scapular ligament and enters the supraspinous fossa. [2]
They meet the ligamenta flava anteriorly, [4] [better source needed] and blend with the supraspinous ligament [3] posteriorly at the apexes of the spinal processes. The function of the interspinous ligaments is to limit ventral flexion of the spine and sliding movement of the vertebrae. [5] The ligaments are narrow and elongated in the thoracic ...
