    Coracohumeral Ligament

    ByNitesh Dhameliya

    Introduction The coracohumeral ligament is a strong, fibrous band that connects the coracoid process of the scapula to the greater tubercle of the humerus. It plays a key role in stabilizing the shoulder joint, particularly by limiting excessive external rotation and inferior displacement of the humeral head. By tightening during external rotation and preventing excessive external rotation and inferior translation of the humerus, the coracohumeral ligament strengthens the glenohumeral joint capsule superiorly. Structure of the Coracohumeral Ligament The coracohumeral ligament is an important and strong band of connective tissue that connects the scapula’s coracoid process to the humerus’s greater tubercle. The ligament consists of dense collagen fibers aligned…

    Shoulder Joint

    ByDr.Arati Gameti

    The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is a ball-and-socket joint that involves the humerus (upper arm bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). It is one of the most mobile joints in the human body, allowing for a wide range of movements such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. Introduction The glenohumeral joint, which is situated in the shoulder, can move in a wide variety of ways….
