Subscapularis minor-does it exist?

The fibres of the subscapularis do not all originate from the subscapularis fossa. An additional origin exists at the inferior part of the glenoid neck and in a depression at the infero-lateral part of the scapular pillar. The fibers which originate at this location all insert on the humerus at the muscular portion of the subscapularis humeral insertion. This portion however does not seem to correspond to the so-called subscapularis minor which has been previously described.
