Based on the MRI report you shared, there is evidence suggestive of a long-segment labral tear (approximately 1 to 8 oâclock) along with subscapularis tendinosis and interstitial tearing, but this is a non-arthrographic MRI, which can sometimes overestimate labral pathology. Not all labral tears require surgery, especially if there is no recurrent shoulder instability or true locking symptoms. Many patients improve with activity modification, time, and structured non-surgical management, even with MRI-reported labral changes. An MR arthrogram or clinical correlation with specific shoulder tests is often needed before deciding on surgery.
