Acute Batter's Shoulder With Concomitant Superior Labrum from Anterior to Posterior Injury in a Collegiate Baseball Player.

ABSTRACT

An 18-year-old collegiate baseball player sustained an acute batter's shoulder injury causing a posterior shoulder dislocation with type IX 360° superior labrum from anterior to posterior tear. To the authors' knowledge, this description of batter's shoulder is not within the literature. The patient ultimately underwent arthroscopic labral repair and has fully returned to sport. In understanding the complexity of the shoulder during the batter's swing, this case demonstrates an expansion to the previously described pathophysiology of batter's shoulder.
