Coracohumeral

/kɔːrəkoʊhjuːˈmɛrəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or connecting the coracoid process of the shoulder blade with the humerus (upper arm bone).

Etymology

From coracoid (shoulder process) + humeral (relating to the humerus, from Latin 'humerus'). A medical anatomical term for structures linking these shoulder components.

Kelly Says

The coracohumeral ligament is super important for keeping your shoulder stable—when it gets tight, it can cause frozen shoulder, a painful condition where your shoulder basically locks up and you can barely move your arm!
