Figure 11 - Looking at the shoulder with the deltoid muscle reflected, we can see the axillary nerve exiting the quadrilateral space (between the long head of the triceps, the humeral shaft, the teres minor and the teres major). The shoulder capsule is approached as indicated by the dotted line between the infraspinatus and the teres minor. The teres minor protects the axillary nerve during the procedure.
