About the Shoulder Joint
The shoulder provides more flexibility than any other part of the body. The three bones of the shoulder are the humerus, the scapula (shoulder blade), and the clavicle (collar bone).
The top portion of the scapula, the acromion, attaches to the clavicle, or collar bone. The end of the scapula, called the glenoid, holds the ball-like head of the humerus in place and acts as a flexible ball-and-socket joint. The labrum, a cup-shaped rim of cartilage, lines and reinforces the joint.
Four short muscles originate on the scapula and pass around the shoulder where their tendons fuse together to form the rotator cuff.
