What is a clinically important superior labrum anterior to posterior tear

摘要: Abstract Knowledge is evolving regarding the importance of superior labrum in shoulder function and dysfunction. Biomechanical clinical studies are defining role joint instability, guidelines for diagnosis treatment disorders emerging. There a positive association between clinically important, symptomatic labral tears requiring alterations anatomy. The based on patient's history examination findings that indicate loss function. Labral injury can be confirmed with imaging characterized by arthroscopic if surgery necessary. Emerging data suggest guided rehabilitation achieve asymptomatic up to 50% patients important injuries. Surgical treatment, necessary, should address all aspects anatomy so roles stability restored.
