The glenohumeral joint allows a wide range of movement of the upper limb. It is associated with the shoulder girdle. If we compare the shoulder joint to the hip joint, the shoulder joint is built for mobility and is therefore less stable than the hip joint. The shoulder joint is, therefore, prone to injury. The main structures that keep the humerus and scapula in place are the ligaments and muscles that surround the joint.
