M75.6: Tear of labrum of degenerative shoulder joint
The thin layer of cartilage on the edge of your glenoid cavity is damaged.
The shoulder joint is the joint between the shoulder blade and the humerus. There is a flat recess to the side of the shoulder blade. This is the glenoid cavity. In the glenoid cavity is the spherical upper end of the humerus. This is the head of the humerus. The edge of the glenoid cavity is encircled by a thin layer of cartilage which slightly enlarges the surface of the joint. This stabilizes the shoulder joint.
The layer of cartilage can be damaged due to wear and tear. When the cartilage on the glenoid cavity is damaged, there may be some shoulder pain. The shoulder may also be less stable than normal, or the arm may be less mobile.
