The three most common labral variants include a sublabral foramen with a cord-like middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) occurring in 8.6% of patients, a sublabral foramen in 3.3% of patients, and an absent anterosuperior labrum with a cord-like MGHL, called a Buford complex, present in 1.5% of patients.

External rotation greater than 90[degrees] at the side is suggestive of anterior ligamentous hyperlaxity; asymmetrical hyperabduction of more than 20[degrees] compared to the contralateral arm is indicative of a stretched inferior glenohumeral ligament. (5,35)
