Category:Shoulder - Anatomy

The glenohumeral joint is a ball and socket joint which has sacrificed stability for mobility - stability is provided by a strong capsule, ligaments and surrounding musculature. The shoulder complex (involving 4 joints, muscles and tendons, ligaments, labrum, capsule, bursa, and neuromuscular bundles), is among the most complicated regions of the body. The shoulder complex supports both extrinsic and intrinsic muscles.
