title: [Research progress in influence of bony structure of glenohumeral joint on shoulder joint stability].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the progress in influence of bony structure of glenohumeral joint on the shoulder joint stability.
  
  
  METHODS
  Recent literature, concerning the influence factors of the shoulder joint stability and the action of bony structure of the glenohumeral joint in the stability of shoulder joint, was extensively reviewed and summarized.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The specific factors which the bony structure of the glenohumeral joint influences the stability of the shoulder joint are the conformity index, the shape of the glenohumeral joint, version angle, inclination angle, and head shaft angle, etc.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although the predecessor's research experience and clinical reports have preliminarily determined the relationship between the bony structure of the glenohumeral joint and the stability of the shoulder joint, it is necessary to further study in various aspects (including anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical practice).
