LABRUM
Labrum is a very important structure that surrounds the glenoid bone which keeps the head of the humerus bone ( bone of the arm) inside the shoulder joint.
Usually in case of shoulder dislocation, ( head of humerus comes out of shoulder joint ) the labrum gets detached from the glenoid bone.
If this labrum tear does not heal, it leads to recurrent dislocations of shoulder.
To prevent dislocation of shoulder, labrum needs to be reattached to the glenoid bone with the help of bone anchors.
This procedure can be done by a key hole procedure called arthroscopy.
