The shoulder joint, or glenohumeral joint, is a ball-and-socket synovial joint formed by the articulation of the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula, allowing for a wide range of motion. Its clinical significance lies in its susceptibility to instability and injury, particularly in athletes and the elderly, which can lead to conditions such as rotator cuff tears or shoulder dislocations, impacting mobility and quality of life.
