This week we are going to discuss injuries to the glenoid (shoulder) labrum and to the acetabular (hip) labrum. The labrum is a fibrocartilaginous O ring which supports and stabilizes the shoulder … ...

The suture anchor is initially placed into the anterior rim of the glenoid and the suture passed through the capsule and labrum with a suture shuttle device (Figure 6 and Figure 7).

Anterior-superior and anterior-inferior portals were created under direct visualization. Figure 2. Posterior glenoid bone loss is shown. Figure 3.

The glenoid labrum contributes to the stability of the shoulder by increasing the concavity in which the humeral head glides. Anterior, posterior, and multidirectional shoulder instability have ...

Acute anterior glenohumeral dislocation (figure 1). The plain radiographs show an anterior glenohumeral dislocation (figure 1). The MR arthrographic image (figure 2) taken 2 years after dislocation of ...

Approximately 20% of all shoulder dislocations occur in patients older than 60 years. 1 Subtle anterior glenoid rim fractures also cause a tear of the anterior labrum (this pattern is referred to ...

The Glenoid Labrum The labrum, more accurately referred to as the glenoid labrum, is a ring of cartilage located within the socket of the shoulder and acts as a stabilizing and cushioning device.

Tears to the glenoid labrum—cartilage tissue that lines the shoulder where the arm joins—can be repaired with arthroscopic surgery, which significantly weakens the joint and involves a lengthy ...
