ABER position
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The ABER position is relatedrelates to imagingMR arthrography of the shoulder joint and is a mnemonic for ABduction and External Rotation.
In this position, labral tears are made conspicuous by tightening the inferior glenohumeral labroligamentous complex (which are also the most important glenohumeral ligaments in preventing shoulder instability).
To attain this position, the patient's pertinent hand is placed behind the head or neck.
