Shoulder Anatomy

  • Chapter
Shoulder Arthroplasty

Abstract

The shoulder is a complex structure which is comprised of various bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and vessels. It has the importance of being the only true connection between the axial skeleton and the upper extremity, and it plays the key role for upper extremity movements. In order to make the positioning of the upper extremity properly, all structures forming the shoulder must be intact and interoperate. Knowing the anatomy of the shoulder is essential for surgeons who want to evaluate the pathologies correctly and avoid the possible complications while performing surgical procedures. In this chapter, we will review the basic anatomy of the shoulder.
