Glenoid

The ball-and-socket joint comprises the rounded top of the upper arm bone (the "ball"), which fits into a dish-like cup called the glenoid (the "socket") in the shoulder blade. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Anatomy as two posterior ligaments which run each from three points on the sides of the os suffraginis to a piece of fibro cartilage, described as the glenoid cartilage, and attached to the postero-superior edge of the os coronae; between them is the insertion of the inferior sesamoidean ligament. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

To sculpt the new joint, surgeons take cadaver cartilage and bone from both the cup part of the shoulder - the socket, called the glenoid, and the humeral head, which is the ball of the upper arm bone. ❋ Unknown (2009)

There are several reasons you may have pain (i.e. rotator cuff tear, impingement, arthritis, spurring, instability, glenoid labrum tear, and the list goes on!). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Even the part where the paper was going along where my humeral head fits into the glenoid fossa — uh, that's a ball and socket joint. ❋ Brianne Baxtali (2011)

The benefit of the procedure, he says, is that there is no plastic glenoid to possibly wear or bend, so it's a good option for patients who are athletic or otherwise very physically active. ❋ Unknown (2008)

They leave the glenoid socket intact, but reshape it by scooping it out with a tool called a reamer. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The head of the humerus is articulated with its (glenoid?) cavity, by means of a small ligament, and it consists of a rounded epiphysis composed of spongy cartilage, the humerus itself is bent outward and forward, and it is articulated with its (glenoid?) cavity by its side, and not in a straight line. ❋ Unknown (2007)

It should be particularly known that the union of all bones is, for the most part, by a head and socket (cotyle); in some of these the place (socket?) is cotyloid and oblong, and in some the socket is glenoid (shallow?). ❋ Unknown (2007)

A movement is felt as the humeral head re-enters the glenoid cavity. ❋ Unknown (1989)

In the anterior-inferior variety, which is the most frequent: pain, reduced movement, deformity of the shoulder, the arm abducted and externally rotated, and a reduced glenoid space. ❋ Unknown (1989)

This depended, I think, on two points in the architecture of the joint: first, a bullet to enter the front of the cavity and traverse the joint needed to come with great exactitude from the immediate front; secondly, wounds received from a purely lateral direction calculated to pierce the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity were naturally of very rare occurrence. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

No case of fracture of the glenoid cavity happened to come under my notice. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

The articulating surface of the os coronæ is supplemented by the addition behind of a thick piece of _fibro-cartilage (the glenoid_) attached inferiorly to the posterior edge of the upper articulatory surface of the os coronæ, and superiorly by means of three fibrous slips on each side to the os suffraginis. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

-- This is limited in front by the tendon of the extensor pedis, on each side by the lateral ligaments of the joint, and behind by the glenoid fibro-cartilage. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

Instead of the glistening and clear appearance it ordinarily presents, its glenoid cartilage is found to be showing hæmorrhagic or even purulent spots of necrosis. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

When the mouth is opened wide, the condyle advances out of the glenoid cavity, and returns to its socket when the mouth is shut. ❋ Albert F. Blaisdell (N/A)

The latter fragment had become somewhat displaced downwards, and had united in such a manner that the head rested on the lower part of the glenoid cavity. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)
