Shoulder Stabilization
The shoulder joint is comprised of the humeral head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
Ligaments surround and stabilize the joint capsule.
In the event of a luxation, that is the dislocation of the joint, these damaged ligaments render the shoulder unstable, resulting in recurrent luxations.
