Multifidus muscle

The multifidus (multifidus spinae; pl.: multifidi) muscle consists of 23 muscle fasciculi, which fill up the gutter on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae (the so-called spino-transverse groove), from the sacrum to the axis. While very thin, the multifidus muscle plays an important role in stabilizing the joints within the spine. The…
