Overview
Scapula and humerus The upper image shows the bony landmarks seen from an anterior perspective of the humerus and scapula, as well as their anatomical relation with each other as they form the glenohumeral joint. The lower left image shows the landmarks of the posterior surfaces of the humerus and scapula, while the lower right image labels some of the main ligaments related to the humerus and scapula.
