What is a Labral Tear?
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket and helps stabilize the shoulder joint. A labral tear occurs when this cartilage becomes damaged due to trauma, shoulder dislocation, repetitive overhead activities, or sports injuries.
Common symptoms include:
- Deep shoulder pain
- Clicking or catching sensations
- Shoulder instability
- Weakness during arm movements
- Difficulty with overhead activities
- Recurrent shoulder dislocations
Early diagnosis is important to prevent further damage and long-term instability.
