Labral Tear: AI-Powered Shoulder MRI Assessment
Upload your shoulder MRI for AI analysis of labral tears including SLAP lesions and Bankart lesions. Private multi-model assessment.
Overview
The glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring that deepens the shoulder socket and serves as an attachment point for the glenohumeral ligaments and long head of the biceps tendon. Labral tears are classified by location and pattern: SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) tears involve the superior labrum at the biceps anchor, while Bankart lesions involve the anteroinferior labrum and are associated with shoulder dislocations. Our AI consortium evaluates labral morphology, identifies tear patterns, and assesses for associated osseous injuries.
Common Symptoms
- Deep shoulder pain, often hard to localize
- Catching, locking, or popping with shoulder movement
- Pain with overhead activities or throwing motions
- Sensation of shoulder instability or slipping
- Pain worsening with specific arm positions
- Decreased throwing velocity or accuracy in athletes
Key Imaging Findings
- Labral detachment or irregularity on axial or coronal MRI
- SLAP tear with extension into the biceps anchor
- Bankart lesion with anteroinferior labral avulsion
- Bony Bankart with glenoid rim fracture
- Hill-Sachs lesion on the posterolateral humeral head
- Paralabral cyst suggesting underlying labral tear
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SLAP tear?
SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior. It is a tear of the top part of the labrum where the biceps tendon attaches. SLAP tears are classified into Types I-IV. Our AI evaluates the biceps anchor and superior labrum to identify and classify SLAP lesions.
