Origin and Insertion
The rhomboid minor arises from the inferior border of the nuchal ligament, from the spinous processes of the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebrae, and from the intervening supraspinous ligaments.
It is inserted into a small area of the medial border of the scapula at the level of the scapular spine.
