Shoulder Labral Tear: Symptoms and Treatment
Different parts of the body have been designed in such a way to be able to perform a number of countless tasks, and the shoulder joint is especially intricate. As one of the most complex joints in the body, it is held together by a network of tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue. It is the fibrocartilage that helps to stabilize the ball in the shoulder joint. If a shoulder injury occurs, the ring of cartilage within the shoulder can get damaged. This is known as a labral tear, or a SLAP tear. Shoulder labral tear symptoms can be misdiagnosed at times, since some symptoms can appear to be due to simply overworking the shoulder.
