Association of glenoid labral cysts with labral tears and glenohumeral instability: radiologic findings and clinical significance.

Traumatic anterior glenohumeral subluxations comprise the majority of glenohumeral instability events and are endemic in young athletes. Unlike the definitive complete dislocation event, subluxation events may often be more subtle in presentation and, therefore, may be overlooked by clinicians. Glenohumeral subluxation events are associated with a high rate of labral tears as well as humeral head defects. While less is known of the natural history of these injuries, young athletes are at risk for recurrent instability events if not properly diagnosed and treated. While reports of surgical treatment outcomes isolated to subluxation events are limited, arthroscopic and open Bankart repair have been shown to result in excellent outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to review the etiology and pathoanatomy of traumatic anterior glenohumeral subluxations as well as to review the appropriate evaluation and management of patients with this injury.

AbstractGlenohumeral instability is the inability to keep the humeral head centered in the glenoid fossa. Glenohumeral instability can be classified according to etiology and direction of instability. The glenoid labrum, the glenohumeral ligaments, and the bony structures contribute to the stability glenohumeral joint and need to be addressed with imaging. One of the difficulties with accurately diagnosing labral tears on MR imaging is the normal labral variants, which can sometimes appear similar to tears. The location and extent of a Hill-Sachs lesion and glenoid rim defects need to be related to recognize engaging Hill-Sachs lesions or off-track situations. There are several types of labral tears that are not associated with a prior dislocation. SLAP tears are one of the more common tears of the labrum and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from a normal variant superior sublabral recess. Labral tears in overhead thrower occur in the posterosuperior labrum, adjacent to the posterior rotator cuff tears in these athletes. Tears in the posterosuperior labrum are also associated with spinoglenoid notch paralabral cysts, which can be painful and cause external rotation weakness.
