What Is A Shoulder Labral Tear?

Dr. Burns: Shoulder labrum tears are essentially tears of the soft tissue that goes around the socket. Whenever you think about a labrum it is the surrounding rim of tissue that goes around the inside part of the shoulder socket. And symptoms from that can be anything from shoulder instability, or pain. Acute labral tears usually happened in young patients whenever they dislocate their shoulder. You can also have labeled tears as you get older that's related to degenerative changes and kind of an early progression of our osteoarthritis.
