Abbreviations
- Inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL)
Synonyms
- Glenoid avulsion of glenohumeral ligament
- IGHL tear near glenoid rim/labrum
- Posterior humerus avulsion of glenohumeral ligament (PHAGL)
- Humeral avulsion of glenohumeral ligament (HAGL)
- IGHL tear at humerus insertion
- More common than midsubstance IGHL tears
- Glenoid avulsion of glenohumeral ligament
Definitions
- Tear of IGHL, usually after glenohumeral instability
- Variant: anterior band of IGHL (ABIGL) intact but attached to periosteal sleeve, which is torn or peeled off intact labrum
