There are few case reports of glenoid labral cysts related to the labral tear in the shoulder. Glenoid labral cyst is often overlooked in the diagnosis of shoulder pain. We are reporting a case of a glenoid labral cyst accompanying with anterior labral tear in the right shoulder of a 42 years old woman with the history of trauma. The cyst and anterior labral tear was successfully treated with arthroscopic excision and repair.

Objectives : The purpose on this study is to show the clinical effects of oriental medical treatments for labral tear. Methods : The patients were treated using acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medication, moxibustion, physical treatment and cupping treatment. And the effects for labrum tear have measured in VAS, ROM of shoulder joint. Results : VAS of shoulder pain went down to 2 in case 1, 4 in case 2. ROM of shoulder joint was improved. Conclusions : From the above results, It is demonstrated that oriental medical treatments is effective on labral tear.

As the instruments as well as techniques for hip arthroscopy have developed, the interests and understandings of acetabular labral tear have also increased. As a consequence, the diagnosis itself was increased. However, it is still difficult to be diagnosed accurately in an ordinary clinic. In this brief review, the clinical and radiological characteristics and diagnostic implications of acetabular labral lesions were described to help the surgeon to make a right decision.

The iliopsoas bursa lies between the iliopsoas tendon and the anterior hip joint capsule and is difficult to detect by ultrasonography in normal setting. However, some of them communicated with the hip joint and the iliopsoas bursitis can be detected as a reflection of intra-articular pathology. We report two cases of acetabular labral tear accompanied with the iliopsoas bursitis detected by ultrasonography.

The posterior and multidirectional instability of the shoulder is a complex problem in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Increased joint volume by redundant capsular ligament has been regarded as a major pathogenesis of the posterior and multidirectional instability. Distinct from multidirectional hyperlaxity, multidirectional instability has symptoms related with increased translations in more than one direction. Recent report that shoulder symptom originates from labral lesion which was created by excessive rim-loading of the humeral head on the posteroinferior glenoid labrum during repetitive subluxation helps us to understand the pathogenesis of such instability. Painful jerk and Kim tests indicate labral lesion in the multidirectionally loose shoulder, suggesting multidirectional instability. Also, painful jerk test is a prognostic sign of failure of nonoperative treatment. The labral lesion can be an incomplete tear or a concealed lesion which often has been underestimated. Operative treatment is indicated when nonoperative treatment has failed. Arthroscopic capsulolabroplasty is a reliable procedure, which not only provides capsular balance, but also restores the labral height.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular labral tears in sports injuries. Materials and Methods: From March 1995 to January 2000, We treated 15 patients with acetabular labral tear by sports injuries. There were 6 men and 9 women. Mean age was 41 years old. Running injuries are 5 cases, fighting 3, aerobic exercise 3, swimming 2, climbing 1, bicycle 1. For conservative treatment, we performed medication and observation at least for 1 year. For the patients with arthroscopic surgery, we performed Harris Hip Score (pain and function) preoperatively and postoperatively at 6, 12 months, and evaluated patient’s pain by JOA pain scoring system and postoperative subjective satisfaction. Results: The mean score of HHS improved 15 points with conservative treatments and 32 points with hip arthroscopy. In 4 cases of conservative treatment, there was 1 scale improvement of JOA pain scoring system. In arthroscopic partial labrectomy, all cases were improved to more than 2 scale. Conclusion: We considered that acetabular labral tears occurred associated with sports injuries. So it is important to be interested in enthusiastic diagnosis and appropriate treatment for hip pain caused by sports injuries, especially about acetabular labral tears.

Rare cases of a congenital absence of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) have been reported, and its incidence is unknown. In a literature review of the congenital absence of the LHBT, only 1 case was associated with posterior shoulder instability and severe posterior glenoid dysplasia. This paper reports the first case of a patient with a bilateral congenital absence of the LHBT with posterior shoulder instability without glenoid dysplasia or posterior glenoid tilt. The patient experienced a traffic accident while holding the gear stick with his right hand. After the accident, a posteroinferior labral tear with paralabral cysts was detected on the magnetic resonance images. The congenital absence of the LHBT was assumed to have affected the posterior instability that possibly increased the susceptibility to a subsequent traumatic posterior inferior labral tear. This case was identified as a posterior inferior tear caused by a traumatic 'gear stick injury'.

MR arthrography is a useful modality for evaluating the labrocapsular ligamentous complex(LOLC) of the shoulder. This study was performed to describe normal anatomic variations and pitfalis in image interpretation related to evaluation of the LOLC. MR Arthrogram of 56 shoulders in 41 asymptomatic young, active volunteers were prospectively reviewed to evaluate the labral shapes. capsular insertions and images which may mimic the lesions of glenohumoral instability. The anterior and posterior parts of the labra. respectively. varied in shape: triangular$(72\%,\; 36\%)$. round $(13\%,\; 35\%)$. cleaved$(8\%,\; 1\%)$. notched$(2\%,\; 0\%)$. flat$(5\%,\; 24\%)$ and absent$(0\%,\; 4\%)$. The anterior and posterior capsular insertions. respectively. varied in sites: Mosely and Oevergaard type I$(82\%,\;62\%)$, type II$(13\%,\; 3\%)$ and type III $(5\%,\; 2\%)$. A number of pitfalls in image interpretation were discovered. Articular cartilage undercutting the labrum$(29\%)$ and middle glenohumoral ligament in proximity to anterior labrum $(5\%)$ simulated a labral tear. Joint fluid interposed in the central. superior portion of the sublabral sulci$(25\%)$ simulated a SLAP lesion. Synovial fold$(38\%)$ in axillary pouch resembled a loose body. Knowledge of normal variations and pitfalls in MR arthrogram image interpretation of labral capsular - ligamentous complex will help the orthopedist to accurately detect debilitating derangements associated with the glenohumeral instability.

Labral lesions and anatomic variants have been studied by several authors in the last decade. Buford complex and sublabral recess and foramen are most common variants. Their recognition is important in order to distinguish them from superior and anterior labral tear. We report rare normal variant of biceps anchor and superior labrum that was observed during arthroscopic surgery for SLAP lesion.
