Preoperative factors associated with 180-, 270- and 360-degree labral tears

Large, circumferential glenoid labral tears are an uncommon injury affecting young, athletic patients. There is limited data describing the clinical presentation of patients with larger tears, especially 270- and 360-degree labral tears. Additionally, exam and imaging findings have poor reliability in diagnosing these tears. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical presentation among patients presenting with small (less than 180 degrees), medium (180-270 degrees), and large (270-360 degrees) labral tears.
