The present study investigates how loading of the shoulder effect the formation of the trabeculae in the subarticular region of the gleno-Numeral joint. Bone morphology was determined from scapular cadaveric specimens and Finite Element (FE) analysis was employed to analyse principal stress trajectories. Boundary conditions corresponded to five functional activities were considered. The results show deviations of the computed trajectories from actual trabecular lines obtained from the bone specimens ranged on average from 10% to 17%. Each activity produced different regional deviation corresponding to the specific loading condition. This study concludes that certain loading conditions are more significant in explaining the formation of the trabecular architecture. The results also suggest that due to the extra sensitivity of the front and the rear aspects of the "lateral region" to the loading conditions, these regions may be more indicative in reflecting shoulder injuries.
