Body was changed:

Glenolabral articular disruption (GLAD) results from a forcedadduction injury. There is a superficial anterior inferior labraltear associated with an anterior inferior glenoid articular cartilage injury.  These lesions do not tend to be associated with shoulder instability.

It is better visualised in ABER position. Articular cartilage lesions are best demonstrated with  MR arthrography. The anterior labrum and glenoid articular cartilage often demonstrate normalmorphology one image superior to the GLAD lesion.

Treatment and prognosis

Treatment options include glenoid articular chodroplasty or aan abrasion arthroplasty. Recovery usually takes ~ 3~3 months.
