It is also called as a glenohumeral joint because it is constituted with the articulation of humerus’ head with the glenoid cavity.

There are many factors that provide the strength to this joint for various types of movements with stability. These components are rotator cuff muscles, glenoid labrum, ligaments, biceps tendon.
