Posterior Labral Pathology

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

I'd like to share with you the spectrum of posterior

0:06

labrum glenoid and labrocapsular lesions posteriorly.

0:11

Let's start with the, the baby one.

0:15

A very small, partial tear,

0:19

in the back rim, not affecting the hyaline cartilage,

0:23

not going all the way through, but producing a

0:26

little bit of a peel back between the labrum and

0:30

the adjacent bone and hyaline cartilage structures.

0:34

And this is known as a Kim's lesion.

0:37

Some people have referred to it

0:39

as a reverse mini Perthes lesion.

0:44

Let's go on to the next one.

0:45

And by the way, this one is usually

0:47

not seen with an overt dislocation.

0:49

And it's seen with repetitive Microinstability

0:53

from weightlifting, either military

0:56

or more commonly bench pressing.

0:59

The next one is a Perthes lesion.

1:01

Now I'm showing this one anteriorly, because I don't

1:04

have the posterior diagram, but it's exactly the same.

1:07

In this case, The lesion does not go all

1:10

the way through and through, by the way.

1:12

Doesn't go through the labrum, nor

1:14

does it go through the periosteum.

1:16

The periosteum remains attached.

1:21

And in fact, it's usually hugging

1:23

even a little closer than this.

1:24

And you can get a little pouch in it.

1:28

You can have this in the back, you can have it in the front.

1:33

Now, let's take that one step further.

1:41

the underlying glenoid, and this tissue is now more

1:45

prominently lifted up for a long, long distance.

1:50

There's a wide area of separation here

1:53

and here, and these patients are usually

1:59

associated with an acute traumatic event.

2:02

And this is known as a The pulpsal lesion, the

2:07

posterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion.

2:12

Now, unlike the Perthes lesion, we have a

2:15

slight peel, a very subtle peel right here.

2:19

Let me take this away for a moment.

2:22

And let me, let me bring back the

2:23

reverse Perthes lesion for a minute.

2:26

So, we'll use purple again.

2:28

In the reverse Perthes lesion, actually,

2:31

the labrum is a little bit closer,

2:33

and the peel is very small.

2:37

It's usually almost to the apex of the glenoid.

2:41

Whereas in the pulps lesion, the peel goes for a pretty

2:44

good long distance, and the separation here is wider.

2:50

Now, the pulps lesion is in some ways analogous

2:55

emotionally, because of its name, to the Alps lesion.

3:00

But, they're quite different.

3:02

Because in an ALPSA lesion, and I'll show you one in the

3:05

front, because it stands for anterior labral periosteal

3:09

sleeve avulsion, unlike the PULPSA, where the labrum

3:13

pretty much marches in place, maybe diastatically

3:17

separates, but it doesn't roll underneath the periosteum.

3:23

Whereas, in the Alps lesion, the anterior labrum

3:26

starts to roll like a can of sardines being opened.

3:31

It rolls this way underneath the periosteum.

3:35

So they're not quite the same.

3:39

Then we've got the scenario of a capsuloperiosteal

3:45

separation with the labrum remaining attached.

3:49

Also known as posterior labrum intact

3:53

periosteal capsular sleeve avulsion.

3:57

Known as the Pellipsa Lesion, PLIPSA.

4:03

If you have a Pellipsa Lesion, then there's a pretty

4:06

good chance you're going to have an Ellipsa Lesion.

4:10

Same thing, labrum intact, and the capsule

4:14

and periosteum are displaced or detached.

4:19

Pretty darn simple.

4:21

Pellipsa, Ellipsa.

4:24

In the back of the shoulder, you could get a bony Bankart.

4:27

This is one in the front, but they're exactly the same.

4:30

You could fracture through the bone and you could

4:34

bleed into the periosteum, or you could rupture right

4:38

through the periosteum, which is usually the case.

4:42

And then here's the classic Bankart,

4:45

where you have a separation of the labrum.

4:50

You don't have the typical labral tear through

4:52

and through, that's one form of Bankart.

4:55

You could have what's called a periosteal

4:57

Bankart, these are all avulsion lesions.

4:59

So it goes through the periosteum, and then you've

5:02

already seen the bony Bankart, where you go through bone.

5:05

So you got A, you got B, you got C.

5:09

That concludes our discussion of the important

5:12

variations for labral pathology, focusing on

5:17

the back, but using the front as a comparison.
