Labrum Tear

About The Glenoid Labrum

The glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring that encircles the glenoid (shoulder socket). The AIGH/MGH ligament attatch to the anterior labrum and together these structures provide stability to the ball and socket joint.

The Injury

The labrum is typically damaged as a result of a traumatic event. If the labrum is torn the resulting symptoms can be shoulder pain, limited motion, joint locking, weakness and shoulder instability.

The Procedure

At Regional Orthopedics we are able to repair the torn labrum utilizing a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique through 3 or 4 small one centimeter incisions. The procedure is ambulatory and the recovery time is approximately 6 weeks.
