The motion of the shoulder is powered by several muscles the largest and most powerful is the deltoid. Shoulder stability is provided by the labrum which is like a rubber “O” ring that goes around the socket and deepens and provides a physical restraint similar to a speed bump. Both are lined by a thin layer of articular cartilage that help the shoulder move freely without friction. The socket (glenoid) is rather flat and has a larger radius than the ball (humeral head). The bony architecture of the shoulder is that of a ball and socket joint. Four structures contribute to this function – bone, cartilage, tendon, and ligaments. It straddles a razors thin edge between stability and instability – which is what allows it to have such an incredible range of motion.
