The transverse humeral ligament is a broad band passing from the lesser tubercle to the greater tubercle of the humerus and is always limited to that portion of the bone which lies above the epiphysial line. It converts the intertubercular groove into a canal and is the homologue of the strong process of bone which connects the summits of the two tubercles in the musk ox.Eponym: Gordon Brodie’s ligament.
