The first is seen on radiographs while the other is very hard to find because its shadow is covered by those of other structures such as the condyles (knobs) on the bottom of the humerus.

The canine elbow joint consists of three joints: 1) the humeroradial joint, between the distal, or lower, end of the humerus and the proximal, or upper, end of the radius; 2) the humeroulnar joint, between the distal end of the humerus and proximal end of the ulna; and 3) the radioulnar joint between the proximal ends of the radius and the ulna, respectively.

Three portions of the bones participating in the formation of the elbow joint are involved in the development of elbow dysplasia: 1) the anconeal process of the ulna, which is the most cranial proximal aspect of the ulna articulating with the humerus; 2) the humeral condyle, which is the distal aspect of the humerus articulating with both the radius and ulna; and 3) the coronoid process of the ulna, which provides the majority of the joint surface contact between the humerus and the ulna.

In the shoulder this produces a defect in the joint surface on the head of the humerus.

The proximal segment of the humerus is then translated laterally to maintain at least 25 % cortical contact, and the locking screws are placed to secure the plate to the bone.

Splints are usually applied below the knee on the back leg or below the midpoint of the humerus (the bone that connects the shoulder to the elbow) on the front leg.

This involves a medial approach to the elbow joint on the opposite side to surgery for UAP, and both the medial coronoid process of the ulna and the medial condyle of the humerus must be examined carefully.

The condition arises in the cartilagenous growth plate at the elbow end of the humerus, the bone above the elbow joint when the growth plate fails to harden as it matures.

All three parts of the deltoids insert on the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus, which is a large bump on the outside part of the upper arm bone.

The lateral head originates on the lateral and posterior aspect of the humerus and converges with the long head to blend into one common tendon.

The three heads of the triceps display slightly different origins before converging to a common tendon on the posterior aspects of the humerus.

The heads of the triceps muscle have origins on the medial and lateral posterior aspects of the humerus, and the lateral aspect of the scapula in the case of the long head.

It assists in stabilizing the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity while the arm is elevated; the superior fibers aid in abduction, and the inferior fibers in adduction.

This is the oldest method for treating rotator cuff tears and is suitable for large complex tears that may require additional reconstruction e.g. tendon transfer which is performed when a damaged tendon can not be reattached to the top of the humerus hence a tendon from a different body part (usually the latissimus dorsi tendon of the back) is implanted to repair the rotator cuff.

Each of the four small rotator cuff muscles originates from a distinct point on the scapula (shoulder blade) and pass across the shoulder joint to attach (insert) on the upper portion of the humerus bone on either side.

It assists in stabilizing the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity while the arm is elevated.

The infraspinatus arises from the posterior medial surface of the scapula below the spine of the scapula, and it inserts into the greater tuberosity of the humerus and the shoulder joint capsule.

Shoulder dislocations occur when the head of the humerus bone pops out of the shoulder joint.

This puts your humerii (plural of humerus) in external rotation, thus preventing the full activation of the pectoralis major, which is an internal rotator of the humerus.

This mobility exercise doesn't bring the shoulder through a full range of motion, but it stretches the ligament by distracting the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) from the joint capsule.

This muscle is quite long, starting on the lateral side of the humerus, and attaching to the base of the second metacarpal bone.

Its main function is to stabilise the upper arm by holding the head of the humerus in position.

Its main action is abduction of the humerus.

This head of the deltoid muscle arises (originates) from the acromion process and inserts into deltoid tubercle of the humerus.

Both portions of the pectoralis major insert on the lateral lip of the bicipital groove of the humerus

The medial head is underneath these two and attaches at the elbow and towards the top of the humerus.

Structurally, the shoulder is comprised of the humerus, scapula, clavicle.

A change in scapula position or motion may cause an internal rotation of the humerus resulting in a shortened internal rotator muscle (subscapularis) and a stretched or weakened external rotator muscle (teres minor).

The medial head starts on the posterior part of the humerus also.

But it is situated on the lower inside (medial) part of the humerus.

Also, restricted range of movement and wrong rotation of humerus (an arm bone not the writer) can result in shoulder joints wear and tear when you do bench press, shoulder press, pull ups, rows etc..

* The primary function of the pecs is horizontal adduction of the humerus (bringing your upper arm across the front of your body), and dumbbell presses offer a superior range of motion through this function since the hands and arms can be brought together rather than being locked onto a fixed bar.

Dips primarily involve flexion of the shoulder and extension of the elbow (rather than adduction of the humerus), meaning that they mostly hit the front of the shoulders and the triceps rather than the pecs.

On the above image, Delavier's finger is pointing at the insertion of the long head on the scapula, above the head of the humerus.

A posterior shoulder dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus moves backwards out of the socket.

The pectoralis major extends across the upper part of the chest, from the strenum and is attached to a ridge at the rear of the humerus (the bone of the upper arm)

What is unique about the superficial layer is that they all start on a common tendon on the inside part of the humerus (the medial epicondyle)-- the big bone that sticks out on the inside part of the elbow joint.

-- Infraspinatus, a thick triangular muscle wrapped around the outside portion of the scapula — Teres minor, a smaller mucle found under the infraspinatus — Supraspinatus, a muscle that runs from the scapula to the inside of the humerus, separated from the infraspinatus by the spine of the scapula — Subscapularis, another large triangular muscle that originates from the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts in the humerus.

Being close to the deltoid muscle, the clavicular head significantly contributes to flexion, horizontal adduction and inward rotation of the humerus, and is best engaged with exercises which involve shoulder flexion and movements that end with your elbows above your clavicle.

Lying on your side with your arm overstretched forward causes the head of your humerus bone to fall forwards, overstretching and compressing the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles.

The muscle fibers in the latissimus dorsi extend from the lower thoracic vertebrae, and the iliac crest in the hip, and then they join at the upper part of the humerus in the upper arm next to the shoulder.

Unlike the standard pull - up or pull - down where the resistance is pulled vertically and downward, and unlike the standard row where the resistance is pulled horizontally and backwards, lat pull - ins place the resistance directly out to the side of the body where it is then pulled inward, which emphasizes the moving of the humerus toward the origin of the lats on the spine and thereby engages the lats in the most effective way.
