Glenohumeral joint, also known as the shoulder joint, is a ball-and-socket joint that connects the upper arm bone (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). It is one of the most mobile joints in the human body, allowing for a wide range of movements including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. The glenohumeral joint is stabilized by a combination of ligaments, tendons, and muscles, including the rotator cuff muscles, which are crucial for maintaining shoulder stability and function.

The glenohumeral joint is susceptible to various injuries, including dislocations, subluxations, and rotator cuff tears. These injuries can significantly impact the joint's range of motion and stability, leading to pain and functional limitations. Treatment options for glenohumeral joint injuries range from conservative measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to surgical interventions like arthroscopy or open surgery.

The glenohumeral joint plays a vital role in daily activities, enabling tasks such as reaching, lifting, and throwing. Proper care and maintenance of the joint are essential for preventing injuries and promoting overall shoulder health. This includes regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding activities that put excessive stress on the shoulder.
