Bony humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (BHAGL) lesion is just like its slightly shorter relative HAGL lesion, except as the name suggests a bony avulsion fracture is seen at humeral insertion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament.
It is often associated with a subscapularis tear, and often results from anterior shoulder dislocation, with resultant shoulder instability.
