The scapular line, also known as the linea scapularis, is a vertical line passing through the inferior angle of the scapula. [ 1 ] It has been used in the evaluation of brachial plexus birth palsy.
The root of the spine of the scapula is the most medial part of the scapular spine. It is termed "triangular area of the spine of scapula", based on its triangular shape giving it distinguishable visible shape on x-ray images.

It contains the scapular circumflex vessels. [7] Unlike the quadrangular space or the triangular interval, no major nerve passes through the triangular space. Muscles on the dorsum of the scapula, and the triceps brachii.
