The labrum is a fibrocartilaginous structure that serves to deepen the sockets of certain joints, such as the shoulder (glenoid labrum) and hip (acetabular labrum). It enhances joint stability and helps to absorb shock during movement. The labrum also provides an attachment point for ligaments and tendons, contributing to overall joint function and integrity. Injuries to the labrum can lead to pain and instability in the affected joint.
