the labrum acts like a gasket of sorts that sits around the glenoid fossa which is the socket that the ball of the humerus sits in. the glenoid labrum adds extra stability to the joint and deepens the socket by approximately fifty percent. it also covers and prevents the bones of the humeral head from rubbing the socket. the shoulders tendons also connect from this point.
