The capsule and labrum is secured to the anterior glenoid rim with a sliding knot tied with the knot pusher (Figure 8). (Enlarge Image) The placement of the 3 anterior suture anchors ...

The Glenoid Labrum. ... Tears that occur at the anterior/inferior labrum are known as Bankart lesions and frequently occur after shoulder dislocations. The Rehabilitation Process.

Posterior glenohumeral joint instability, while less common than anterior instability, ... Figure 3. The posterior glenoid after elevation of the labrum and capsule is shown.

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 ...

This patient has an anterior glenoid rim fracture, which is associated with a shoulder dislocation. Approximately 20% of all shoulder dislocations occur in patients older than 60 years. 1 Subtle ...

Bankart lesion: A tear of the anterior labrum of the glenoid, often associated with recurrent shoulder dislocations. Glenoid: The socket portion of the scapula that articulates with the head of ...

The glenoid labrum, which functions as a cushion between the bones in the shoulder, is inaccessible to progenitor cells that could reach the damaged area and begin to heal it. Often, labrum tears ...
