The glenoid labrum (glenoid ligament) is a fibrocartilaginous rim attached around the margin of the glenoid cavity in the shoulder blade.
The labrum is a rim of cartilage that surrounds the glenoid or shoulder socket. A tear of the labrum that occurs along the top of the socket is called a SLAP tear or SLAP lesion. SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior and involves the portion of the labrum that the biceps tendon attaches to.
