Improved Visualization of the Middle Glenohumeral Ligament of the Shoulder with Internal Rotation in Axial MR Arthrography: A Comparative Positional Analysis

The middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) is an important passive stabilizer of the shoulder joint. Accurate identification of this ligament is crucial because its variations can mimic certain pathologies. Particularly, axial MR arthrography images are highly effective for evaluating MGHL pathologies and variations. Axial MR arthrography images obtained in internal rotation allow clearer evaluation of the MGHL compared to neutral and external rotation images.

Abstract

The middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) is an important passive stabilizer of the shoulder joint. Accurate identification of this ligament is crucial because its variations can mimic certain pathologies. Particularly, axial MR arthrography images are highly effective for evaluating MGHL pathologies and variations. Axial MR arthrography images obtained in internal rotation allow clearer evaluation of the MGHL compared to neutral and external rotation images.
