An injury that is common in ball and socket joints (shoulder or hip), labrum tears cause a world of pain for patients.
Ball and socket joints are the conjunction of the rounded head of one bone and the cup like depression of another. To facilitate smooth movement and keep these joints stable, a cartilage like tissue called labrum covers the outside rim of the socket. A labral tear occurs when this ring of cartilage is damaged. Labrum tears can occur in both the shoulder and hip joints.
Labrum tears are often the result of sports injury. Golfers, baseball and tennis players are prone to shoulder labral tears. These types of tears can also result from accident, trauma, or overuse. With age, our connective tissues tend to degenerate, leading to an increased likelihood of injury.
If you or a loved one has been suffering with the chronic pain of a labral tear, there is a new option for recovery.
