Description

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1861, Vol. 42 The extreme mobility of the scapula would, at first thought, seem to be a circumstance of insecurity. It is, however, really quite the reverse, the ready yielding of the scapula defeating the effect of Violence exerted on the joint through the humerus. The facile motions of the scapula, efiected by its complicated muscular apparatus, enable it to present its shallow glenoid in almost every direction. When the arm is elevated, and sustains a force from above, the glenoid looks upward to Oppose it. When we fall upon the hand, laterally, the same cavity presents downward and outward. It is thus capable of almost instantly Opposing its surface to the head of the humerus, in Whatever attitude it may present itself thus revolving around it and really, in its mechanism, representing a much deeper cup than that which it exhibits in the skeleton.
