The teres minor is one of four rotator cuff muscles that is involved in many shoulder pathologies. The integrity of the teres minor can be indicative of treatment success for disorders including rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, and quadrangular space syndrome. Quadrangular or quadrilateral space syndrome is a debilitating disorder that may require surgical intervention in chronic cases and can lead to atrophy of the teres minor. A review of the diagnostic techniques and treatment methods for disorders involving teres minor, with a focus on quadrilateral space syndrome, are presented in order to summarize the current understanding of these pathologies.
小圆肌是四块肩袖肌之一，与多种肩部疾病相关。小圆肌的完整性可表明包括肩袖撕裂、撞击综合征和四边孔综合征在内的疾病的治疗成功率。四边孔综合征是一种使人衰弱的疾病，在慢性病例中可能需要手术干预，并且会导致小圆肌萎缩。本文综述了涉及小圆肌疾病的诊断技术和治疗方法，重点关注四边孔综合征，以总结目前对这些病症的认识。
