Triple Labral Lesion of Shoulder : A Case Report

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: A triple labral lesion represents a combination of injuries of the anterior, posterior and superior glenoid labrum. The injury mechanism and symptoms is not completely understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We encountered a triple labral injury in a 39-year-old male complaining pain and active abduction difficulty after a motor vehicle accident. Currently, he does not complain any instability symptoms. The labrum was repaired using bio-absorbable suture anchors and a suture hook. RESULTS: Eighteen months following surgery, the active range of motion was restored and he had no difficulty in his daily activities.
