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 ...

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).

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.

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 ...

In a type 7 tear, the injury extends into the middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments. Type 8 is a type 2B tear that extends into back lower part of the labrum. Types 9 and 10 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Acute anterior glenohumeral dislocation (figure 1). The plain radiographs show an anterior glenohumeral dislocation (figure 1). The MR arthrographic image (figure 2) taken 2 years after dislocation of ...
