  1. 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.

Read on: • The Function of Shoulder Joint:  • From mobility activities like walking, throwing, and running to daily activities like reaching an item on the shelf – there isn’t any upper body functional movement where the shoulder doesn’t play a crucial role. • The function of the shoulder joint is to hold the shoulder bones in place to enable movement of the arms – upward, downward, forward and backwards.

  3. 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 MumbaiDr Chirag Patel.
