Bennett lesion

Bennett lesion

A posteroinferior glenoid-rim enthesophyte arising at the site of insertion of the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex, which is seen in athletes that use overhead throwing movements—e.g., baseball pitching, jai alai, cricket.
Associations
Posterior labral injury, posterior instability, anterior labral abnormalities. Posterior capsule and labral injuries have been reported in 36% and 86% of shoulders with posterior instability respectively.
Mechanics
Posterior impingement of the humeral head on the glenoid rim, with posterior capsular avulsion secondary to traction on the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral complex.
