Shoulder Cartilage Defects….

Cartilage defects are a potentially serious issue in any joint.  A large enough defect can lead to pain, catching, snapping, instability and potentially osteoarthritis, even at a young age.

In this particular case, the labrum (cartilage disc around the socket of the shoulder) was advanced to cover the cartilage defect….  a very effective remedy based on the location of the defect.
