title: [Morphology of the ligamentum glenohumerale mediale in shoulder joints of dogs].
abstract: This study was performed on the shoulder joints of 23 dogs of different age and sex. The purpose was to examine the medial wall of the articulatio humeri as well as the intraarticular position of the ligamentum glenohumerale mediale. The examinations showed an attachment of the ligamentum glenohumerale mediale at the articular capsule by crossing the capsule and forming an intraarticular structure. Section of frozen shoulders showed that the ligamentum glenohumerale mediale separated the cavitas glenoidalis of the scapula and the caput humeri of the humerus from medial like a meniscus. Histological sections were remarkable because of the fibrocartilaginous structure. The attachment of the ligament arised from the tendon of the musculus subscapularis and divided the recessus m. subscapularis into two subpouches. The lateral one was more capacious and more extended under the tendon of m. subscapularis.
