Where does rhomboid minor insert?

• A. Medial border of the scapula near the inferior angle
• B. Lateral border of the scapula
• C. Medial border of the scapula at the level of the spine
• D. Superior border of the scapula

Answer: (C)

Rhomboid minor inserts on the medial border of the scapula at the level of the scapular spine. This location places it higher on the medial border than the rhomboid major, which attaches along the medial border from the spine down to the inferior angle. This insertion supports retracting and downwardly rotating the scapula, aligning with the muscle’s role, and it’s innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve.
