(2) Dislocated shoulder
• Occurs when the humerus separates from the scapula
at the glenohumeral joint.
• The shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion of
any joint in the body and as a result is particularly
susceptible to dislocation.
• Approximately half of major joint dislocations are of the
shoulder.
• Partial dislocation of the shoulder is referred to as
subluxation (半脱拉).

2. The Elbow Joint
(1) Features of structure:
• Three joints were covered by one
joint capsule
• The joint capsule is thin and loose
anteriorly and posteriorly
• The joint capsule is thick and strong
on either side strengthened by
collateral ligment (ulnar lig. and
radial lig.)
• The arm forms an obtuse angle (the
carrying angle, 5 to 15 °) with the
forearm.

(2) Obtuse angle (carrying angle, 5 to 15 °)
• The angle formed by the axes of the
arm and the axes of forearm when
the elbow is fully extended and
forearm is supinated.
• This angle allows your forearms to
clear your hips when you swing your
arms, such as during walking. It is
also important when carrying
objects.
• Certain fractures of the elbow can
• If the angle is decreased
increase the carrying angle of the
so that the arm points
elbow, causing the arms to stick out
toward the body, it is
too much from the body. This is
called a “gunstock
called an excessive carrying angle.
