Blue Ridge Parkway Mile-By-Mile: Top 50 Things to Do. Here are our top picks for things to do along a 175-mile North Carolina section from north to south. Asheville exits are b/w Mileposts 382 and 393. Also see our Favorite 15 Photo Tour. Print this list and take it with you (cell service is spotty along the Parkway).
Labral Tear of the Shoulder. The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage (rubbery tissue) attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place. When this cartilage is torn, it is called a labral tear. Labral tears may result from injury, or sometimes as part of the aging process.
Biceps Tenodesis. With biceps tenodesis, the biceps is first released and then re-attached to the bone in a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure. To do this, anchors or biotenodesis screws are drilled into the bone and the tendon is reattached. This procedure can also be used for labral injuries. The labrum is attached to the biceps tendon and can pull the labrum off and place the labrum under constant tension. Here, the tension is released by cutting the biceps tendon and allowing the labrum to return to its normal position, relieving the pain.
