What's the difference between glenoid and scapula?
Glenoid
Definition:
(a.) Having the form of a smooth and shallow depression; socketlike; -- applied to several articular surfaces of bone; as, the glenoid cavity, or fossa, of the scapula, in which the head of the humerus articulates.

(13) Arthroscopic operative procedures include the inspection of a torn glenoid labrum and certain lesions of the biceps tendon, viewing a torn rotator cuff, locating loose bodies in the shoulder, surgery for recurrent dislocations, and division of the coracoacromial ligament.

(16) Bony defects of the humeral head (Hill-Sachs lesion) or the glenoid rim are revealed by computed tomography (CT).
(17) That type in which the fracture is localized in the glenoid cavity is the most injurious one as it is accompanied by haemorrhage and therefore will result in loss of meat.
(18) The condylar stump was used in combination with a glenoid fossa implant by performing a unilateral osteotomy 6 months after the tumor was excised.
(19) No correlations were found between any of the radiographic findings (the presence of radiolucent lines about the glenoid or humeral components, humeral subsidence, or ectopic ossification) and any of the clinical findings (pain relief, range of motion, motor power, or functional improvement).
(20) Although Tuttle and Basmajian suggest that the cranial orientation of the glenoid fossa in apes has reduced the demand for scapular rotation during arm-raising, subsequent EMG studies on other primate species suggest that these muscles do play a significant role in arm motion during active locomotion.
Scapula
Definition:
(n.) The principal bone of the shoulder girdle in mammals; the shoulder blade.
(n.) One of the plates from which the arms of a crinoid arise.
Example Sentences:
(1) The left scapula in each dog was treated by open reduction and plating of the scapular spine.
(2) Upper thoracic fractures that involved the clavicles, scapula, sternum, and ribs were present in four patients.
(3) The tendons of insertion of the latissimus dorsi and the teres major muscles and the tendon of origin of the long head of the triceps brachii muscle were united, forming a conjoint tendon that attached to the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula and the lower part of the anatomical neck of the humerus adhering to the articular capsule of the shoulder joint.
(4) The shapes of scapulae and basi-occipital bones from three genetically distinct achondroplastic mutants and one osteopetrotic mutant in the mouse (achondroplasia, brachymorphic, stumpy and grey lethal), and appropriate controls, have been compared using Fourier analysis and multivariate statistical techniques.
(5) Passing subcutaneously, the catheter emerges on the back between the scapulae.
(6) This study presents in detail the exact geometry of scapula anatomy, giving precise figures for distances, angles, and radii of curvature of the scapula.
(7) Of 93 macerated scapulae that were examined, foramina were observed in 27 specimens (29%).
(8) Two cases of avulsion of the cranial margin of the scapula are presented.
(9) Two cases of winged scapulae due to fibrosis of the deltoid muscle are reported.
(10) The operation was a modification of Green's procedure; all muscular attachments to the scapula are freed, the omovertebral band is cut, and the scapula is sutured into a pocket in the latissimus dorsi after the scapula has been rotated and moved caudad to a more normal position.
(11) The original malrotation of the scapula was corrected initially but usually recurred after two years; however, this did not compromise the large increase in abduction postoperatively.
(12) The Teflon graft can be protected from possible salivary fistulae by a dermal graft that is covered by a levator scapulae muscle flap, which is sutured to the prevertebral fascia to separate the carotid vessels from the pharynx, but it is not recommended that the tumor resection be staged to achieve this carotid protection.
(13) The rhomboideus major muscle was attached on the medial border of the scapula opposite the infraspinous fossa and could be traced to the dorsal surface of the bone just above the inferior angle.
(14) There was one complication in the SCR group, a urinary tract infection, whereas the TAR group had 21 complications including pneumothorax (13), laceration of subclavian vessel (3), winged scapula (3), pleural effusion (1), and wound infection (1).

(16) Six somatic traits were measured and analysed: body height, body weight, chest circumference, skin-fat fold thickness (scapula, shoulder, hip).
(17) The mechanism is associated with a disturbance in the kinesiology of the shoulder-joint complex that alters the position of the scapula relative to the rib cage and neurovascular supply to the upper limb.
(18) Although fractures of the humerus, scapula, and clavicle are common throughout life, most problems encountered between the ages of 15 and 60 are related to the ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the shoulder girdle.
