Objective To review the progress in influence of bony structure of glenohumeral joint on the shoulder joint stabil ity. Methods Recent l iterature, concerning the influence factors of the shoulder joint stabil ity and the action of bony structure of the glenohumeral joint in the stabil ity of shoulder joint, was extensively reviewed and summarized. Results The specific factors which the bony structure of the glenohumeral joint influences the stabil ity of the shoulder joint are the conformity index, the shape of the glenohumeral joint, version angle, incl ination angle, and head shaft angle, etc. Conclusion Although the predecessor’s research experience and cl inical reports have prel iminarily determined the
relationship between the bony structure of the glenohumeral joint and the stabil ity of the shoulder joint, it is necessary to further study in various aspects (including anatomy, biomechanics, and cl inical practice).
