Abstract
The shoulder joint is composed of the scapula, clavicle, and the head of the humerus. The scapula is part of three joints: The acromioclavicular joint (acromion and clavicula), the glenohumeral joint (glenoid and proximal humerus), and the scapulothoracic joint (anterior scapula and posterior thorax) (Fig. 10.1) [1]. In this constellation, the scapula provides a stable base for movements of the humerus [2].
