“…The serratus anterior is composed of three main parts with a total of seven to 10 slips (the most common is eight slips found in 48%) and has its blood supply from the long thoracic artery superiorly and branches of the thoracodorsal artery inferiorly [12]. It has multiple cervical root innervations via the long thoracic nerve.…”

“…The lower serratus anterior is composed of thicker digitations and connects the inferior scapula angle to ribs 5 to 10. It has peak activity in the arc of arm abduction, combining with the upper trapezius to provide scapular abduction and upward rotation [3,[12][13][14].…”

“…Firstly the cohort studied was small but as an exploratory study the results are promising and, in our view, because of the clinical relevance of serratus anterior in shoulder and neck pain, a larger study is warranted. A larger sample size would enable investigation of the consistency of serratus anterior morphology and prevalence of the variations documented in this and previous studies (Eisler, 1912;Cuadros et al, 1995;Smith et al, 2003). Secondly, the quantification of muscle volume, using the Archimedes' principle of fluid displacement, can be affected by the extent of muscle hydration (Ward and Lieber, 2005) and the presence of air bubbles.…”

“…In the five primary research studies to examine the morphology of serratus anterior using cadaveric dissection (Table 1), the muscle is inconsistently subdivided into one, two or three parts. Each subdivision is postulated to have distinctive actions at the scapula (Cuadros et al, 1995;Smith et al, 2003;Ekstrom et al, 2004;Bertelli and Ghizoni, 2005;Nasu et al, 2012). No studies have quantified the segmental architectural parameters of serratus anterior, including fascicle orientation, length and thickness, tendon length and physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) to establish morphologically based functional subdivisions.…”

“…2 En la parte distal de su trayecto, la rama anterior de la arteria toracodorsal, destinada al fascículo medial del serrato anterior, pasa por delante del nervio, donde este penetra debajo de la fascia del serrato anterior, de manera constante, según cuadros y cols. 9 aquí existiría un potencial sitio de compresión, debido a que el nervio es móvil en la parte media del trayecto torácico, y sería fijado por esta encrucijada anatómica. 10 El trayecto completo del nervio es variable, de 20 a 30 cm, y finaliza en tres ramas terminales para los segmentos medio e inferior del músculo.…”
