Age related morphometric changes of theglenoid labrum

Objectives: Although the glenoid labrum is linked to glenohumeral joint stability, its anatomy remains controversial. Thisstudy aimed to investigate the shape, consistency of the glenoid labrum, and whether these and its thickness and depth areage related. Methods: A total of 140 shoulders were dissected to expose the glenoid labrum. the shape and consistency of the glenoidlabrum were assessed at a gross level. Measurements were taken of the labrum depth and thickness, using callipers, in the superior, anterior, inferior and posterior regions. ANOVA and chi-square tests were conducted to determine statistical significance,which was set at p
