Quantative Analysis of Glenoid Labral Volume Using MRI

The glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilage in the shoulder joint, anchoring the joint capsule and shoulder ligaments. It helps in improving the joint congruity and increases the contact surface area. Morphology varies regionally, especially in the superior and anterior region; these variants can sometimes be confused with pathological conditions. The labrum is often involved in shoulder instability, by single macro trauma or, more often, repetitive microtrauma. It is triangular in cross section with its base fixed to the edges of the glenoid while the free edge is thin and sharp.
