Glenohumeral refers to the shoulder joint formed between the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus, allowing a wide range of arm movements. It is clinically important due to its role in upper limb mobility and its susceptibility to instability and dislocation. A common complication is anterior shoulder dislocation, which can damage surrounding ligaments and nerves, impacting function and requiring prompt management.
