👉 The glenoid labrum is a ring of cartilage that extends over the glenoid fossa, deepening the socket of the shoulder joint and enhancing its stability. The glenoid labrum works in conjunction with the surrounding ligaments to create a more secure and stable environment for the shoulder joint, allowing for a greater range of motion while minimizing the risk of dislocation. Within the glenoid cavity, the glenoid labrum also plays a crucial role in proprioception, providing sensory feedback to the nervous system about the position and movement of the humeral head. This intricate structure is essential for the shoulder's remarkable flexibility and strength, enabling a wide array of movements necessary for various activities.
