Abstract

It is well known that the essential pathology in traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder is the avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament complex from the glenoid rim, However, there were some reports that the avulsion can occur from the humeral attachment site. We have experienced a 42-year-old man who had complained of persistent shoulder pain after traffic accident and showed the instability on physical examination. The MR arthrogram and arthroscopic surgery revealed the avulsion of glenohumeral ligament from the humeral attachment site. We repaired the lesion using the suture anchor through the anterior axillary approach and had a good result after 1 year
