Shoulder

The shoulder joint is a remarkable and highly flexible joint found in the human body. It is formed by the connection between the upper arm bone, known as the humerus, and the shoulder blade, called the glenoid of the scapula. This connection creates a ball and socket joint that enables a wide range of motion. However, the shoulder’s functionality is not solely reliant on these two bones.

Several other vital structures contribute to shoulder motion and function. These include the acromioclavicular and scapulothoracic joints within the shoulder, as well as cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. When these components work together harmoniously, they allow individuals to engage in athletic activities, perform work-related movements, and enjoy everyday tasks with ease.
