The shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is a ball and socket joint between the scapula and the humerus. It is the major joint connecting the upper limb to the trunk.
The glenohumeral, or shoulder, joint is a synovial joint that attaches the upper limb to the axial skeleton. It is a ball-and-socket joint, formed between the glenoid fossa of scapula (gleno-) and the head of humerus (-humeral).
Your shoulder is made up of two joints that connect the three bones of your shoulder together with soft tissue, muscle, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. The three bones in your shoulder are your: Shoulder blade (scapula). Collarbone (clavicle). Upper arm bone (humerus).
The shoulder joint is the junction between the chest and the arm. The range of movements and the strength of the muscles around the shoulder depend on two shoulder joints, many muscles, tendons, and bones of the upper arm and the upper back.
The articular structures of the shoulder complex, in particular the GH Joint, are designed primarily for mobility, allowing us to move and position the hand through a wide range of space, allowing the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body.
The most flexible joint in the entire human body, our shoulder joint is formed by the union of the humerus, the scapula (or shoulder blade), and the clavicle (or collarbone). Commonly thought of as a single joint, the shoulder is actually made up of two separate joints - the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joints.
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint between the scapula and the humerus. The socket of the glenoid fossa of the scapula is itself quite shallow, but it is made deeper by the addition of the glenoid labrum. The glenoid labrum is a ring of cartilaginous fibre attached to the circumference of the cavity.
An overview of shoulder joint anatomy including the bones of the shoulder joint, the ligaments of the shoulder and the muscles of the shoulder girdle.
It is essential to understand the anatomical features of the shoulder when assessing and treating these conditions. This article discusses the key anatomical structures of the shoulder complex, including the bony structures, articulations, ligaments, muscles, nerves and the vascular supply.
Four joints are present in the shoulder: the sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC), and scapulothoracic joints, and glenohumeral joint. The sternoclavicular joint is a synovial saddle joint and is the only joint that connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton.
