Summary
The following are the major muscles that will be encountered and may be divided during thoracic operations for trauma.
Anterior Chest Wall: Pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles
Pectoralis major muscle: It originates from the anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle, the anterior surface of the sternum, and the cartilages of all the true ribs (1–7 ribs). The 5-cm wide tendon inserts into the upper humerus.
Pectoralis minor muscle: It arises from the third, fourth, and fifth ribs, near their cartilages, and from the aponeuroses over the intercostal muscles. It inserts into the coracoid process of the scapula.
Lateral Chest Wall: Serratus anterior muscle
Serratus anterior muscle: It originates from the lateral part of the first eight to nine ribs and inserts into the medial aspect of the scapula.
Posterior Chest Wall: Latissimus Dorsi
Latissimus Dorsi muscle: It originates from the spinal processes of the lower thoracic spine and the posterior iliac crest and inserts into the upper portion of the humerus.
