An Arthroscopic Technique for Release of the Middle Glenohumeral Ligament and the Effect on External Rotation of the Shoulder

The middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) is well recognized as a primary stabilizer of the shoulder. Its role in shoulder pathologies such as adhesive capsulitis, subscapularis tendon tear, and glenohumeral arthritis is less understood. Biomechanically, the MGHL plays an important role in range of mo...

description The middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) is well recognized as a primary stabilizer of the shoulder. Its role in shoulder pathologies such as adhesive capsulitis, subscapularis tendon tear, and glenohumeral arthritis is less understood. Biomechanically, the MGHL plays an important role in range of motion, specifically involving normal and pathologic external rotation in less than 45° of abduction. In this Technical Note, we present a technique for arthroscopic release of the MGHL in the setting of a stable shoulder with preoperative loss of external rotation and a patient at risk for postoperative restriction of external rotation.
