It also helps stabilise the humeral head in the glenoid cavity. A SLAP tear (superior labrum anterior to posterior) is a rupture in the glenoid labrum. The presence of intra-articular contrast allows for better evaluation of the glenoid labrum. The socket is deepened by the glenoid labrum. Its counterpart in the pectoral girdle is the glenoid fossa. It identifies the presence of a pathology involving the biceps tendon or glenoid labrum. Surgery reattaches the labrum to the glenoid through the use of surgical anchors. Shoulder surgery followed in September to repair a torn glenoid labrum. Meanwhile, the portion of the coracoid closest to the glenoid is very expanded. Those that occur in the neck are usually parallel to the glenoid fossa. The second is the transdeltoid approach, which provides a straight on approach at the glenoid.
