surface anatomy
shoulder blade
The line connecting the medial ends of the scapular spines on both sides is level with the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra (T3).
The line connecting the lower corners of the scapula on both sides is level with the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra (T7)
The inferior angle of the scapula can be palpated on the body surface
spinous process
The spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) can be touched on the body surface and is often used as a marker to identify the number of vertebrae.
The highest point of the iliac crest on both sides of the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4)
sacrum
Sacral hiatus: The notch on the back of the 4th and 5th sacral vertebrae is bounded by the coccyx and is the lower opening of the spinal canal.
Sacral angle: The downward protrusions on both sides of the sacral canal hole, which are easily palpable on the body surface and are often used as needle positioning marks for sacral canal anesthesia.
Lateral sacral ridge: the ridge lateral to the median sacral ridge, which is the symbol for sacral nerve block anesthesia through the posterior sacral foramen.
coccyx
The tip of the coccyx can be palpated in the gluteal groove 2.5cm behind the anus.
iliac crest and posterior superior iliac spine
The line connecting the two posterior superior iliac spines is level with the spinous process of the second sacral vertebra (S2).
The left and right posterior superior iliac spines, the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra (T5) and the tip of the coccyx form a diamond-shaped area.
rib 12
This rib can be palpated lateral to the erector spinae muscles
chirocostal angle
The angle between the lateral edge of the erector spinae muscle and the 12th rib. The kidney is located deep in this angle.
In kidney diseases, there is often percussion pain or tenderness in this area, which is also a commonly used needle insertion site for renal capsule sealing.
Hierarchy
shallow structure
skin
superficial fascia
The superficial fascia in the upper part of the nuchal area contains more fibers, so it is particularly tough. The superficial fascia in the waist area contains more fat.
cutaneous nerve
all come from the posterior rami of spinal nerves
Xiang District
Greater occipital nerve
2nd posterior cervical nerve branch
3rd occipital nerve
Posterior branch of 3rd cervical nerve
The thicker cutaneous branch of the posterior cervical nerve
Chest and back area and lumbar area
gluteal epithelial nerve
It is composed of 1 to 3 posterior branches of the lumbar nerve. It passes through the lumbar area, penetrates the thoracolumbar fascia, crosses the iliac crest, and distributes to the upper gluteal area.
When the waist is sharply twisted, this nerve is easily damaged and is one of the common causes of low back and leg pain.
The branches of the posterior rami of the 12th thoracic nerve distribute to the gluteal region
Sacrococcygeal area
The cutaneous branches of the posterior divisions of the 1st to 3rd sacral nerves form the middle gluteal cutaneous nerve.

As the aponeurosis of the origin of the transverse abdominis muscle, it is attached upward to the lower edge of the 12th rib and downward to the iliac crest
The upper part stretches between the 12th rib and the transverse process of the first lumbar vertebra, and thickens to form the lumbocostal ligament.

Upper inner boundary: outer lower edge of trapezius muscle
Lateral boundary: spinal border of scapula
Lower bound: upper edge of latissimus dorsi muscle
Bottom: thin layer of adipose tissue, deep fascia and 6th intercostal space
Surface covered with skin and superficial fascia
Meaning: Auscultate the part of the back where breath sounds are clearest. To facilitate auscultation, the scapula can be pulled outward to expand the scope of the triangle.

top down
In front of the aponeurosis are the kidneys and quadratus lumborum muscle
The extraperitoneal approach for renal surgery must pass through this triangle
Significance: One of the weak areas of the posterior abdominal wall. If the abdominal organs protrude backward through this triangle, lumbar hernia will form.

Significance: Lumbar hernia can also occur in another weak area of the posterior abdominal wall. In retrocecal appendicitis, there is obvious tenderness in this triangular area.
Deep blood vessels and nerves
artery
occipital artery
dorsal scapular artery
vertebral artery
Divided into 4 sections
Section 1: from the starting point to before entering the transverse process foramen of the 6th cervical vertebra
Section 2: Passing through the transverse process foramen of the 6th to 1st cervical vertebrae
Segment 3: Enters the skull through the vertebral artery groove of the suboccipital triangle and the foramen magnum
Segment 4: Intracranial segment
Significance: Cervical bone hyperplasia can cause compression of the second segment of the vertebral artery, causing insufficient intracranial blood supply, which is the so-called vertebral artery cervical spondylosis.
thoracodorsal artery
vein
nerve
31 pairs of posterior branches of spinal nerves
lumbar nerve posterior rami fibrous foramen
Upper lateral boundary: medial edge of the intertransverse process ligament

subdural space
subarachnoid space
filled with cerebrospinal fluid
It expands from the first lumbar vertebra to the second sacral vertebra to form the terminal cistern.

Meningeal branches of spinal nerves (sinovertebral nerves)
Irritation can cause reflex spasms in the waist and hamstring muscles and pain in the lower back and legs.
Cutting off the spinal branches can cause the loss of proprioception of the intervertebral disc, posterior longitudinal ligament, and dura mater.
vertebral venous plexus
intravertebral venous plexus
Distributed between the vertebral periosteum and dura mater
external vertebral venous plexus
Hair distributed outside the spinal canal
intrinsic spinal muscles
During renal surgery, cutting this ligament can increase the width of the 12th rib and facilitate exposure of the kidney.
