This is a technique guide for using musculoskeletal ultrasound to look at the shoulder labrum.

It describes anatomy, scanning positions, and what normal versus torn tissue looks like on screen. It reports no patient data and no outcomes.

What this paper is

This is a narrative/educational review describing the anatomy of the glenoid labrum and the ultrasound technique for imaging it. It contains no original research: no patient population, no intervention, no outcomes measured, no statistical results, and no comparison between groups. It is a technique guide, not a study, and there is no finding to summarise for a clinician.
