There are three glenohumeral ligaments which provide some support to the front of the shoulder joint; the superior, middle and anterior inferior. The superior glenohumeral ligament works in conjunction with the coracohumeral ligament to stabilise the humeral head. The middle glenohumeral ligament is not always present. When it is present, it aids to stabilise the humeral head. The thick inferior ligament is the primary stabiliser of the three.
