It's like "gross anatomy". It's referring to the big structures of the body, the stuff you don't need a microscope to see. So the doctor means that your labrum (the cartilage in your shoulder) looked OK ("intact"), and you don't have an obvious labral tear.
There could be micro-tears in the cartilage, but the doctor didn't look at it with a microscope.
So you don't have a labral tear, which is good news. The bad news is that they don't know the source of your shoulder pain, if you're having any. But if they were just checking you out because you had an accident involving your shoulder, and you feel OK, this confirms that.
