Shoulder dislocations, especially those involving trauma to the Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament (IGHL), have long posed a challenge to orthopaedic surgeons.While surgical techniques have evolved ...

Visualization of the glenohumeral joint is initially done achieved through a posterior portal, which is approximately 2cm centimeter medial and directly inferior to the posterior tip of the acromion.

Objective: This study tested the reliability of the ORI laxometer, a newly developed non-invasive device for testing inferior translation of the humeral head in humans. Design: The instrument was ...

In addition to evaluation of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) and axillary pouch, a complete diagnostic arthroscopy should be completed to evaluate for labral pathology, rotator cuff ...

One type of labral tear is known as a Bankart lesion. Within the shoulder capsule there are a number of ligaments that act as restraints, reinforcing the shoulder joint holding the humeral head in the ...

A study presented at the 2010 meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says a five-minute stretch can help young baseball players avoid a throwing arm injury.

The inferior glenohumeral ligament is identified beneath the subscapularis (Figure 3d). The humerus may be externally rotated to provide optimal access to the site of capsular avulsion (Figure 3e).
