  • Title: [Macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the shoulder joint and the limbus glenoidalis].
    Author: Hertz H, Weinstabl R, Grundschober F, Orthner E.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1986; 125(2):96-100. PubMed ID: 3513475.
    Abstract:
    Macroscopical and histological examinations were carried out in order to investigate the anatomy of the limbus glenoidalis, with respect to its surrounding structures such as tendons and ligaments. Basically the crosscut limbus glenoidalis has a triangular shape, however, especially in its anterior part, it has a meniscoid or labiate form. Histologically the limbus glenoidalis consists exclusively of connective tissue, rich in cells and fibers. It originates from the fibrocartilaginous rim of the glenoid surface, which merges into the hyalin cartilage. The bundles of fibers have a circular arrangement with radially and reticularly interwoven structures near the tendons of the biceps and triceps muscle.
