Histological features of the distal insertion of the middle glenohumeral ligament on the subscapularis tendon
The anatomically exceptional ligament-to-tendon distal insertion of the MGHL into the subscapularis was histologically confirmed in all. These findings support recent results indicating that the MGHL does not insert onto the humerus but into the articular surface of the subscapularis tendon, forming a blend of ligament fibers up to its terminal insertion on the lesser tuberosity. These results suggest that MGHL mechanical constraints are transferred into the subscapularis tendon rather than at the bony insertion on the lesser tuberosity.
