Abstract

The shoulder is a structurally complex joint with a variety of functions, most importantly articulating the upper extremities with the trunk and spine. Understanding the anatomy is required to properly identify, diagnose, and treat shoulder pathology. This chapter will review the anatomy of the shoulder joint.
