A member asked:
Had mri and xray arthogram done on right shoulder. results noted: incidentally noted high attachment of the anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be OK: "Incidental" implies that it was stumbled upon, but not likely to be a problem. This description is not a common finding on MRIs, and I'm honestly not sure of the clinical significance. This ligament provides stability to the shoulder joint and keeps the humeral head/ball from slipping forward out of the socket/glenoid. The ordering physician, if an orthopedic specialist, should help you interpret
