Shoulder Anatomy

The Body’s Most Mobile Joint

Dr. Sachin Allahabadi emphasizes the unique complexity of the human shoulder, which stands as the most mobile joint in the body, allowing an extraordinary range of motion. This mobility enables the arm to perform intricate and dynamic movements essential for daily activities and athletic performance. The shoulder’s flexibility supports key motions such as adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, internal and external rotation, along with full 360-degree circumduction within the sagittal plane. Moreover, it plays a vital role in scapular actions, including protraction, retraction, elevation, and depression.

Despite this remarkable mobility, the shoulder sacrifices some stability. Dr. Allahabadi highlights that the joint’s natural instability is carefully controlled by a complex system of rotator cuff muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the glenoid labrum. These components work together to preserve the joint’s integrity, providing essential strength and balance that protect against dislocations and injuries.

Dr. Allahabadi’s approach to shoulder care is grounded in a thorough understanding of this delicate balance between mobility and stability, which is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of shoulder conditions. This knowledge ensures patients achieve optimal shoulder function and long-term joint health.
