    It penetrates into the substance of the latissimus dorsi muscle near the lateral border of scapula. [5] It follows the course of the subscapular artery, along the posterior wall of the axilla to the latissimus dorsi muscle, [1] in which it may be traced as far as the lower border of the muscle.

    Both these tubercles are found in the proximal part of the shaft. The crest of the lesser tubercle forms the medial lip of the bicipital groove and is the site for insertion of teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles.
