[Research progress in influence of bony structure of glenohumeral joint on shoulder joint stability]
1Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu Sichuan 610041, PR China.
Objective:
To review the progress in influence of bony structure of glenohumeral joint on the shoulder joint stability.
Methods:
Recent literature, concerning the influence factors of the shoulder joint stability and the action of bony structure of the glenohumeral joint in the stability of shoulder joint, was extensively reviewed and summarized.
Results:
The specific factors which the bony structure of the glenohumeral joint influences the stability of the shoulder joint are the conformity index, the shape of the glenohumeral joint, version angle, inclination angle, and head shaft angle, etc.
Conclusion:
Although the predecessor's research experience and clinical reports have preliminarily determined the relationship between the bony structure of the glenohumeral joint and the stability of the shoulder joint, it is necessary to further study in various aspects (including anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical practice).

Joints
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
