A cartilage tear: The labrum is a structure attached to the edge of the bony socket, the glenoid, that has several functions.

Injury: Mma is very severe stress on all joints, bones, muscles!  any severe activity/sport can cause serious injuries.  Injuries do become easier to get if an athlete takes anabolic steroids.

Accepted Answer

See the doctor: Your father should talk with the doctor who ordered the test. That person can put all the information together: the issues your father has (history), the examination by the provider, and the MRI (along with other tests). If the ordering person is not a shoulder or sports specialist, that would be the kind of person your father should see to go other the treatment options.
