Abstract

We describe the imaging appearances of an injury complex occurring in the skeletally immature patient consisting of an avulsion fracture of the subscapularis attachment to the lesser tuberosity and avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) which in two cases was associated with a bony fragment (BHAGL). MR imaging was able to diagnose correctly this atypical injury complex which had not been suspected clinically or on the radiographs.
