The lesser tubercle of the humerus projects anteriorly towards the sternum. It is located on the medial side of the humerus and is a site for attachment of several muscles, including the subscapularis muscle. It does not articulate with the ulna or radius and is not found on the lateral side of the olecranon fossa. It is also proximal to the glenohumeral joint.
