Articulación del hombro

La articulación del hombro es una articulación esferoidea y es la de movimiento más libre en el cuerpo. Esta articulación se puede mover en múltiples direcciones, por lo tanto, es menos estable que otras articulaciones y es más susceptible a las lesiones. La dislocación de esta articulación es común y ocurre cuando la parte superior del hueso del brazo se sale de su cavidad.
