Shoulder Labrum Tears: Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosing Shoulder Labrum Tear

An orthopedic specialist will examine your shoulder, do several physical tests to assess range of motion, obtain a complete medical history, and talk with you about any past injuries you may have had in order to assess the possibility of a shoulder labrum rupture.

To guarantee a precise diagnosis, you might need further imaging tests, such as:

  • MRI[3]
  • CT scan[4]
  • X-ray [5]
  • skeletal muscle ultrasonography

To assess the extent of your labral tear, musculoskeletal radiologists thoroughly evaluate your imaging and report their results to the orthopedic team. They will collaborate to develop a specialized treatment plan that might incorporate several different therapies.
