Shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint which is one of the six types of synovial joints. It is formed between the humerus and the scapula bone. It is the socket of the glenoid cavity of scapula and the rounded head of humerus that forms this joint.

It is the most common type of joint of the body. It has three types of ligaments and is made up of four types of joints. Hence, it is a complex joint. In this joint the joint capsule is loose and needs additional structures to keep it intact.
