Joint Condylar

The condylar joint is the joint that connects the humerus and scapula. It has two heads, one of which - the largest - is called the condyle and is located on the back of the scapula. The joint is located deep under the skin and muscle tissue, which makes it quite difficult to access for research.

The condylar joint is one of the most mobile joints in the human body. It allows a person to perform various arm and shoulder movements such as lifting, lowering, rotating and bracing. In addition, this joint plays an important role in transmitting force and energy from the shoulder muscles to the arms, as well as maintaining the stability of the shoulder and arm as a whole.

The structure of the condylar joint is similar to other joints, but differs in some details. Firstly, it has high mobility due to the fact that its heads are at different levels in relation to each other, allowing for a wide range of movements. Second, articular cartilage is fibrous cartilage that protects the articular surface and allows joints to glide smoothly. This cartilage also strengthens the ligaments that hold joints together.

Diseases or damage to the articular condyle can lead to limited mobility and even pain. For example, damage to the condylar bone can cause an extension contracture—limitation of movement in the direction of flexion and extension in the shoulder joint. This can be due to injuries or other conditions such as arthritis or tumors.

Thus, the condyle joint is an important organ of the human body, providing greater freedom of action, stability and protection of the humerus and scapula. However, its structural features and location require additional attention when studying and treating diseases and injuries.
