There are many bone disorders that humans have. One bone disorder is bone spurs. Bone spurs are projections that form on the edges of the bone. The projections that form are very bony.

scapula and inserts on the medial lip of the intertubercular groove of the anterior humerus. It extends, medially rotates and adducts the humerus.
