The gleno-humeral joint of the adult chimpanzee is morphologically compared to the human shoulder to assess the feasibility of this animal for use in experimental prosthetic replacement. The anatomical structure appears similar enough to man to warrant investigation of this animal as a vehicle for experimental implant design in the shoulder. Several anatomical structural differences were noted which necessitated modification of the fixturing segments of a "Floating Socket" total gleno-humeral endoprosthesis.
将成年黑猩猩的肱盂关节与人类肩部进行形态学比较，以评估这种动物用于实验性假体置换的可行性。其解剖结构与人类足够相似，值得将这种动物作为肩部实验性植入物设计的载体进行研究。注意到了一些解剖结构上的差异，这使得有必要对“浮动承窝”全肱盂关节内假体的固定部分进行改进。
