From the case:
Humeral avulsion of glenohumeral ligament (HAGL)

Fat saturated T1 coronal image shows the posterior band of the glenohumeral ligament thickened and irregular with contrast insinuating along the humeral margin and extension of the extra-articular contrast. The medial retraction of the fibers of the lower humeral glenohumeral ligament creates a J configuration.

Case Discussion
The lesion of the lower glenohumeral ligament is associated with a greater risk of dislocations.
