Glenohumeral ligaments (superior, middle and inferior) – extend from the humerus to the glenoid fossa, reinforcing the joint capsule. They act to stabilise the anterior aspect of the joint. Coracohumeral ligament – extends from the base of the coracoid process to the greater tubercle of the humerus.
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).
The glenohumeral (GH) joint is a true synovial ball-and-socket style diarthrodial joint that is responsible for connecting the upper extremity to the trunk. It is one of four joints that comprise the shoulder complex.
The glenohumeral joint is a ball and socket joint that includes a complex, dynamic, articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the proximal humerus. Specifically, it is the head of the humerus that contacts the glenoid cavity (or fossa) of the scapula.
The shoulder joint (or glenohumeral joint from Greek glene, eyeball, + - oid, 'form of', + Latin humerus, shoulder) is structurally classified as a synovial ball-and-socket joint and functionally as a diarthrosis and multiaxial joint.
scapular plane is 30 degrees anterior to coronal plane. abduction requires external rotation to clear the greater tuberosity from impinging on the acromion. the labrum attached to the glenoid rim and a flat/broad middle glenohumeral ligament is the most common “normal” variation.
Your shoulder joints are located at the top of your arm. They connect your arms to your torso. Your acromioclavicular joint connects your collarbone and your shoulder blade. Below your acromioclavicular joint is your glenohumeral joint that connects your upper arm bone and your shoulder blade.
