The West Point classification of humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) was created to describe avulsion injuries of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL).
Classification
This classification has six types of lesions divided into two categories based on anterior or posterior involvement, presence or absence of bony avulsion, and presence or absence of labrocapsular detachment creating a "floating" IGHL 1-3:
History and etymology
The West Point classification was published by Bui-Mansfield et al. in 2007 3.
