absence of the anterosuperior labrum in the 1-3 o'clock position (axial, sagittal)
thickening of the middle glenohumeral ligament (axial, sagittal)
mild edema of the acromioclavicular joint with narrowing of the joint space, and subchondral cysts
protrusion of the inferior border of the enlarged acromioclavicular joint onto the underlying supraspinatus muscle without impingement (no tendinopathy or tears)
Case Discussion
Buford complex is a congenital anatomical variant that could cause strain on the superior labrum muscle and biceps predisposing it to SLAP injury.
