10What’s the Diagnosis – Case 51
Findings
CT and MRI images demonstrate an impaction of the posterolateral humeral head with an avulsion and medial displacement of the anteroinferior glenoid labrum. There has been a stripping of the scapular periosteum yielding a large amount of soft tissue edema. In addition, there is a small bone fragment avulsed from the anterior glenoid. The inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) is otherwise intact. There is mild hyper intensity of the infraspinatus without a full thickness tear and no full thickness cartilage defect.

15What’s the Diagnosis – Case 51
Diagnosis: ALPSA
ALPSA or anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion is a Bankart variant or variant of an anteroinferior labral tear frequently seen in the setting of an anterior translational event (subluxation or dislocation). The ALPSA has a stripped but intact scapular periosteum allowing medial displacement of the labrum, which is important for the surgeon to be aware of preoperatively.

16What’s the Diagnosis – Case 51
Diagnosis: ALPSA
Specific mention was made of the intact IGHL to make clear the absence of a HAGL lesion (humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament). This lesion to most necessitates the need for an open instead of arthroscopic repair. The posterolateral impaction represents a classic Hill Sachs lesion that when large may necessitate soft tissue or bony grafting. The small avulsion of the anterior glenoid represents a very small bony Bankart lesion. Again, when this lesion becomes large it may necessitate bony augmentation to help prevent recurrent subluxation/dislocation.
