“What does this jargon suggest?”
Anterior-inferior labral tear without complete avulsion. There is undercutting of the superior labrum suggesting sublabral recess, but this is not easily differentiated from a SLAP tear which may extend through the anterior labrum.

This 'jargon' means that you have a shoulder injury.
Sometimes this can be treated with therapy or injections.
However, if this fails, this 'jargon' describes specific anatomy to the surgeon who will know what needs to be repaired.
Specifically, the Labrum is a soft tissue lip around the glenoid portion of the shoulder joint which makes the shoulder closer to a 'ball and socket'. A SLAP lesion is a defect of the "superior" portion of the Labrum. in the shoulder.

Look up on YouTube. It's a shoulder tear.
I believe this is referring to a shoulder but you should ask an orthopedic surgeon or PA/NP.
