I just went to the doctor last month about a labrum tear. He specializes in shoulders and knees at UCLA and told me this. If it is torn badly enough, it will need surgery. However, a small tear can heal within a few months and within 2 years will be no different than a surgically repaired shoulder. The main problem with a tear of this sort is that it doesn't get an abundant supply of blood which greatly slows down the healing process. He proscribed NSAIDs to manage the pain which have been working wonders.
