Article Abstract
Background: Labral tears confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are a relatively common injury among collegiate athletes and can influence a player's ability to compete at the professional level.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of MRI-confirmed shoulder labral injuries in collegiate football players entering the National Football League (NFL) Combine and to further describe these injuries by tear location, player position, history of surgical intervention, and associated concomitant shoulder injuries.
Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.
Methods: Data from 2009 to 2015 were retrospectively collected through review of the injury data registry available to the medical and training staff of all NFL teams following the completion of the NFL Combine. After players with potential labral tears were identified through history and examination, their MRIs were reviewed by 2 fellowship-trained orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons. Players diagnosed with a labral tear confirmed by MRI were separated for further analysis.
Results: A total of 2285 players were analyzed for the presence of labral tears at the NFL Combine. Overall, 377 shoulders (in 340/2285 players; 14.9%) demonstrated MRI evidence of labral tear; whereas linebackers had the highest rate of labral tear (19.2%), linemen had significantly higher risk for labral injury in at least 1 shoulder (odds ratio, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02-1.67; = .029) compared with nonlinemen. Of the 377 shoulders analyzed, 115 (30.5%) exhibited an anterior labral tear, 131 (34.7%) had a posterior labral tear, and 131 (34.7%) had combined anterior and posterior tears. One hundred twenty (31.8%) shoulders had superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) tears. A total of 203 (53.8%) shoulders demonstrated evidence of previous surgical intervention on imaging.
Conclusion: Injury involving the labrum is relatively common among participants at the NFL Combine, especially linebackers and linemen. Further investigation is necessary to determine the impact these injuries have on player draft position and NFL performance.

Editorial Commentary: Treating the Underlying Bony Pathology of the Hip Addresses the Para-Labral Cyst.
Arthroscopy

NYU Langone Health, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Division of Sports Medicine, West Palm Beach, FL. Electronic address:
Para-labral cysts in the acetabulum often occur in the setting of labral tears. While labral tears are commonly identified in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, developmental dysplasia of the hip is also a cause of chondrolabral pathology. Our understanding of para-labral cysts has encouraged addressing the concomitant labral pathology, as this has been shown to result in cyst resolution.

Background: Postoperative femoral head cartilage injury (FHCI) is a rare condition that can be observed in a certain proportion of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. However, the prevalence and associated factors of FHCI, and the effect of this condition on clinical outcomes still remain unknown.
Patients And Methods: Consecutive patients who were diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and labral tear and underwent hip arthroscopic treatment in our institute between July 2020 and July 2021 were retrospectively evaluated.

Acetabular cartilage delamination (ACD) can result in focal chondral defects, increasing contact stresses, and contributing to osteoarthritis. This is commonly associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), particularly with cam deformities due to shearing of the cam on the acetabulum. Additionally, ACD associated with labral tears or chondrolabral separation, when untreated, can compromise labral repair outcomes.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UPMC Freddie Fu Sports Medicine Center, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Anterior shoulder instability is a common pathology seen especially in young men and highly active patient populations. Subluxation is a commonly encountered clinical issue, yet little is known about the effects of first-time subluxation compared with dislocation on shoulder stability and clinical outcomes after surgical stabilization.
Purpose: To compare revision and redislocation rates as well as patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between subluxators and dislocators after a first-time anterior shoulder instability event.
Is Periacetabular Osteotomy With Hip Arthroscopy Superior to Periacetabular Osteotomy Alone? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
December 2024
From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Introduction: There remains ongoing controversy regarding the optimal treatment strategy of hip dysplasia, with some advocating for the addition of hip arthroscopy to periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) to address concomitant labral tears. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the clinical outcomes, complications, and joint preservation of PAO and PAO with hip arthroscopy.
Methods: A literature search was done, and studies were included if they reported outcomes of PAO with concomitant hip arthroscopy, PAO with staged hip arthroscopy, or compared outcomes of PAO alone versus PAO with hip arthroscopy.
