Anatomy and Function of Shoulder Joints

• The shoulder is the most mobile and at the same
  time most unstable joint in the human body.
• Owing to its complex structure it offers the
  highest range of motion over another joint.
• And this also makes it highly vulnerable to
  injury in sports or even in daily life.
• At our joints and sports clinic in Mumbai, we
  often get consulted by patients with shoulder
  strains and injuries.
• This most often happens due to a lack of right
  information about the joint and the care that
  must be taken for a healthy shoulder.

Anatomy and Function of Shoulder Joints

• Anatomy of Shoulder Joint 
•  
• The shoulder is a ball and socket joint that is
  primarily formed by three bones humerus (upper
  arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade) and clavicle
  (collar bone).
• The head of the humerus bone forms a ball-type
  structure that is lined with cartilage and sits
  in the socket, called the glenoid cavity with
  support from muscles, tendons and ligaments.
• Thus enabling the shoulder joint to perform
  extension, flexion, abduction, adduction,
  internal rotation, external rotation and
  circumduction.
• This support system of muscles, tendons and
  ligaments are collectively called rotator cuff
  and they ensure free movement of the joint by
  keeping the ball and socket in place, says
  the best orthopaedic surgeon in Mumbai Dr Chirag
  Patel.
