Labral Tear
Labral tears can result in shoulder instability, which describes a condition of increased joint mobility that affects the passive restraints of the shoulder joint (labrum, capsule and ligaments) and can be broadly classified as traumatic or atraumatic. Traumatic cases result from an injury and are usually present on only one shoulder (unilateral) and demonstrate increased mobility in only one direction (unidirectional). Atraumatic cases, on the other hand, often present without an injury and demonstrate increased mobility on both shoulders and in multiple directions (multi-directional instability).
If you suffer from instability of the shoulder, make sure to give conservative care, specifically, neuromuscular control and muscle strength & endurance exercises a try before rushing into surgical reconstruction.
If you are suffering from shoulder instability and need help designing a rehab program, be sure to checkout our shoulder instability program. Many times, a simple home exercise program can go a long way in terms of restoring function and reducing pain.
