What is the joint classification of the scapulothoracic joint?

Answer 1

The scapulothoracic joint is classified as a type of pseudarthrosis joint or a false joint, which means that it is not a true synovial joint, but rather a functional joint created by the interaction of the scapula and the thoracic cage. It is also considered a gliding joint or a sliding joint, as the movement between the scapula and the thorax is characterized by sliding and gliding.
