Source-derived summary

The inferior transverse ligament (spinoglenoid ligament) is a weak membranous band, situated behind the neck of the scapula and stretching from the lateral border of the spine to the margin of the glenoid cavity.

It forms an arch under which the suprascapular vessels and suprascapular nerve enter the infraspinatous fossa.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Inferior transverse ligament of scapula” is ligament of the shoulder blade. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Inferior, transverse and ligament, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 50-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Inferior, transverse and ligament is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “ligament of the shoulder blade” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12391838. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
