Posterior aspect of the shoulder. ❖, posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL); ◆, intermediate capsular zone; ✪, humeral head; ✚, acromion; ★, coracoid process. (a) The posterior band of the IGHL is located under the posterior intermediate capsular zone. (b) The difference between capsule and posterior band is clearly identified. (c) Thickening of the posterior capsule defines the limit between the posterior intermediate capsular zone and the posterior band. (d) Superior view of the IGHL with posterior band. Proximal insertion is located medial to the labrum on each side of the glenoid. Distal insertion is far from the cartilage of the humeral head. (e) Posterior band of the IGHL is located medial to the labrum and distal insertion is far from the cartilage of the humeral head. (f) Superior view of the posterior band of the IGHL after removal of the posterior intermediate capsular zone.
