Anteroinferior Labrum
Snyder [6] reported two types of labral attachment to the glenoid as seen through arthroscopy [Table 10].
Table 10 – Variation in the attachment of the antero-inferior labrum to the glenoid
Description of Variant |
% Prevalence |
|
Type 1 - “The labrum has a smooth attachment to the neck of the glenoid and fuses with the edge of the articular cartilage”. [6] |
~95% - Arthroscopy [6] |
|
Type 2 - Meniscoid type attachment – characterized by a gap between the articular cartilage edge of the labrum and the glenoid |
~5% - Arthroscopy [6] |
