Glenohumeral

Glenohumeral is a term referring to the glenoid fossa and humerus. The glenohumeral joint is the shoulder joint that connects the humerus to the scapula.

The glenoid cavity of the scapula is a shallow depression on the lateral surface of the scapula. It is more or less oval in shape and covered with cartilage. The ball-shaped head of the humerus enters this cavity, forming the shoulder joint.

Thus, the term "glenohumeral" refers to the region of the shoulder joint, including the articulation of the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus. It is a ball and socket joint that allows greater freedom of movement of the upper limb. Pathologies of the glenohumeral joint can lead to shoulder pain and limited limb mobility.

The shoulder joint (or glenohumenal joint) is one of the most mobile joints in the human body. It is located between the humerus (sometimes known as the shoulder joint or simply the arm), which is attached to the torso by the collarbone and scapula, and the humerus, which connects to the arm.

The shoulder joint has a complex and complex structure that provides various movements of the upper limb - stretching, raising the arms above the head and rotating the upper body. Moreover, it plays an important role in various tasks such as support, holding an object, walking, running and so on, making it critical for the healthy functioning of the human body. The glenoguminal joint is very complex, as it includes not only bones, but also ligaments, muscles, tendons, joint capsule, etc. All this allows the joint to function in the way we are used to.

Glenohumeral (Gleno-humeral from the Latin “Gleno” - depression; and “Gumeral” - shoulder)

*Glenohumeral fossa is a flat depression on the posterior surface of the scapula, in which the upper (acetabular) end of the head of the humerus is located.*  Shoulder The axis of rotation of the glenoid cavity lies, which is understood as the formation in the lower part of the scapular cavity.
