The caput humeri (head), which forms about one-third of a spheroid and is covered with articular cartilage, is directed proxim- ally, medially, and slightly dorsally, and rests in the glenoid cavity of the scapula; the convexity of its surface is most pro- nounced in its posterior half. Separating the head from the tubercles laterally is a shallow groove, which fades away on the surface of the bone which supports the articular part inferiorly. This is named
