Based upon how he fell on the shoulder, the labrum tear was most likely due to a shoulder separation. If he needs surgery, it is probably not season ending, but he is most likely going to be out a while….in the 8-12 week range. If he is lucky, it was only a partial tear that can be managed non-operatively with initial immobilization/sling and a cortisone injection, followed by PT/strengthening and recovery, in which case the recovery time would be closer to the 6-8 week range.
Shoulder Labrum Tear
The shoulder labrum is a thick piece of tissue attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place.
