A labrum tare, or labral tear for those who speak English, is an injury to the cartilage of the hip or shoulder joint.
To "shatter" cartilage means to rip or tear it.
Well the only way to tear cartilage is to do just that tear it by applying excessive force to the cartilage to the point it actually tears like a sheet of paper, this would be incredibly painful and very bloody, unless you have yanked on jewellery to the point it tears the cartilage just short of tearing out completely.
cartilage protects the bones where they meet.
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles, whose combined mission is to keep the shoulder in its socket. A rotator "cup" doesn't exist in the world of anatomy. Perhaps you heard it from someone who mispronounced after not hearing clearly.

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.
A rotator cuff tear is a subset of sprained shoulders.

Cartilage
In reality, it takes significant force to tear cartilage. However, if the conditions are right, the tear can appear quite easily. In some cases, just a few pounds of force in the right direction can cause damage.
