Can the subscapular fossa be palpated on the body surface?

The subscapularis fossa is generally not easy to palpate on the surface of the body because it is located on the ventral aspect of the scapula and is covered by muscle, making it difficult to palpate. First, the subscapularis fossa is located in front of the scapula, and only the scapular ridge and the supraspinatus and infraspinatus fossae can be palpated from the back, whereas palpation from the front requires crossing the thorax. Secondly, the subscapularis fossa is covered by the subscapularis muscle, so it is not easy to touch. The scapula is a triangular flat bone that is attached to the posterior surface of the thorax. The scapula is composed of the glenoid, acromion, rostral process, scapular ridge, and subscapular fossa. The scapula has a large shallow fossa, called the subscapular fossa, on the ventral or ribbed surface of the scapula opposite the thorax. If there is any discomfort in the body, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
