The glenoid labrum (glenoid ligament) is a fibrocartilaginous rim attached around the margin of the glenoid cavity in the shoulder blade.
It keeps the head of the femur (thighbone) inside the acetabulum. Labral tears in general cause pain if the labrum is torn, frayed, or damaged. Many athletes experience a torn acetabular labrum, particularly active adults between the ages of 20 and 40 who practice ice hockey, soccer, football, golf, and ballet.
