Fig. 1A —14-year-old girl (patient 1) with recurrent right shoulder
pain and painful popping sensation. Coronal oblique fat-saturated T1-weighted
MR arthrogram shows apparent "J" sign with disruption of humeral
attachment of inferior glenohumeral ligament and subsequent contrast
extravasation along medial humeral neck. Arrows show disruption of humeral
attachment of inferior glenohumeral ligament complex outlined by
"white" contrast dye in glenohumeral joint.

Fig. 3A —25-year-old woman (patient 3) with right shoulder pain and
history of traumatic injury 6 years earlier in motor vehicle accident. Coronal
oblique fat-saturated T2-weighted MR arthrogram shows strands of tissue in
axillary pouch thought to represent tear of inferior glenohumeral ligament and
subsequent contrast extravasation along medial humeral neck.

Fig. 4A —21-year-old man (patient 4) who presented with continuing
shoulder pain and limited range of motion after traumatic anterior dislocation
of right shoulder 4 weeks earlier. Coronal oblique fat-saturated T2-weighted
MR image appears to show disruption of inferior glenohumeral ligament at its
humeral insertion (arrow), with associated soft-tissue edema tracking
along medial humeral neck.
