What Does a Shoulder Labrum Repair Treat?
The glenoid labrum is a rim of soft tissue that surrounds the shoulder socket—holding the head of the humerus in place and stabilizing the shoulder. An accident or injury may cause a partial or sometimes complete labrum tear and subsequent shoulder subluxations or dislocations. Because the labrum is torn and cannot repair itself, surgery may be a recommended treatment option, especially if subluxations or dislocation are frequent.
Patients who injure their shoulder and are in pain are encouraged to make an appointment with our specialists as soon as possible. Delaying a diagnosis can make the injury and its symptoms worse.
