Examples
-
Outermost slip from the glenoidal fibro-cartilage; 2, lateral ligament of the first interphalangeal articulation; 3, prolongations of the lateral ligament of the first interphalangeal articulation attached to the end of the navicular bone to form the postero-lateral ligament of the pedal joint;

-
When at all diseased the glenoidal surface of the navicular bone should be curetted, even to the extent of the removal of the whole of the cartilage.

-
This ligament is in reality a portion of the glenoidal labrum, though differing from it in having no cartilage cells among its fibers.
III. Syndesmology. 7. Articulations of the Lower Extremity. a. Coxal Articulation or Hip-joint 1918
-
Cleland 71 maintains that the limitations of movement at the shoulder-joint are due to the structure of the joint itself, the glenoidal labrum fitting, in different positions of the elevated arm, into the anatomical neck of the humerus.
III. Syndesmology. 6c. Humeral Articulation or Shoulder-joint 1918
-
The glenoidal labrum is a fibrocartilaginous rim attached to the margin of the acetabulum, the cavity of which it deepens; at the same time it protects the edge of the bone, and fills up the inequalities of its surface.
III. Syndesmology. 7. Articulations of the Lower Extremity. a. Coxal Articulation or Hip-joint 1918
-
It is bounded by a prominent uneven rim, which is thick and strong above, and serves for the attachment of the glenoidal labrum (cotyloid ligament), which contracts its orifice, and deepens the surface for articulation.
II. Osteology. 6c. The Bones of the Lower Extremity. 1. The Hip Bone 1918
-
The articular capsule completely encircles the joint, being attached, above, to the circumference of the glenoid cavity beyond the glenoidal labrum; below, to the anatomical neck of the humerus, approaching nearer to the articular cartilage above than in the rest of its extent.
III. Syndesmology. 6c. Humeral Articulation or Shoulder-joint 1918
-
The most striking peculiarities in this joint are: (1) The large size of the head of the humerus in comparison with the depth of the glenoid cavity, even when this latter is supplemented by the glenoidal labrum.
III. Syndesmology. 6c. Humeral Articulation or Shoulder-joint 1918
-
The surface is covered with cartilage in the fresh state; and its margins, slightly raised, give attachment to a fibrocartilaginous structure, the glenoidal labrum, which deepens the cavity.
-
The long head arises from the supraglenoid tuberosity at the upper margin of the glenoid cavity, and is continuous with the glenoidal labrum.
