Abstract:The glenohumeral joint, by nature of its freedom in range of motion, is particularly vulnerable to injury. Though many aspects of the joint, such as rotator cuff musculature and the glenoid labrum, have been assessed, there is a paucity of data regarding the variation in the contour of the glenoid fossa, the bony support for the humeral head. Therefore, this study applied geometric morphometric techniques to demonstrate the variance in the contours of glenoid fossae. A total of 76 shoulder CT scans, with plane… Show more
