Study Notes

The shoulder joint is very mobile due to articulating surfaces and scapulothoracic movement.
Ligaments in the shoulder joint are complex and contribute to stability.
Ligaments can become stretched or torn, limiting range of motion or causing dislocation.
The superior ligament is stretched with backward rotation or anterior translation of the humerus.
The inferior ligament has three parts and allows for full range of motion.
Overstretching of ligaments can lead to subluxation or dislocation.
Regeneration of ligaments after complete tear is not always successful.
Stability factors are important to prevent pathology.
Joint capsule in the shoulder is larger than in other joints.
Mobility in the shoulder can lead to compensatory movements.
