| Muscles on the dorsum of the scapula, and the Triceps brachii. (Fascia not labeled, but Supraspinatus visible at top right.) | |

The supraspinatous fascia completes the osseofibrous case in which the supraspinatus muscle is contained; it affords attachment, by its deep surface, to some of the fibers of the muscle.
It is thick medially, but thinner laterally under the coracoacromial ligament.
