Causes of Shoulder Labrum Tear
Shoulder labrum tear can be traced to three major factors, they include:
- Severe Injury: People who play sports or engage in other activities that demand a lot of overhead motion may eventually develop SLAP tears. SLAP rips are frequently caused by swimming, lifting weights, and playing softball or baseball. A SLAP tear is most frequently caused by a chronic injury.
- Acute injury: SLAP tears may occur when lifting large objects with sudden, jerky motions or when attempting to stop someone from falling with your arm outstretched.
- Aging: SLAP tears may occur as a result of gradual labrum deterioration. Those over 40 are typically the ones who see this tear.
