A member asked:
Is it possible to have an anterior labrum tear without ever dislocating your shoulder?

Labrum injury: With a dislocation, a labral injury called a Bankart lesion or a bony Bankart occurs. However, labral injuries can happen from several types of injuries that include falling on an outstretched hand, violent pulls of the shoulder, etc. Here is some information from the AAOS. http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00426 http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A006
