What does no gross labral tear mean?
"No gross labral tear" means that no visible or obvious tear was identified during a clinical examination or imaging study of the labrum, which is a ring of cartilage around the socket of a ball-and-socket joint like the hip or shoulder. It suggests that there is no significant or large tear requiring immediate surgical intervention.
What is the Difference between a labral tear and a rotator cuff tear?

What does grossly intact mean?
It's like "gross anatomy". It's referring to the big structures of the body, the stuff you don't need a microscope to see. So the doctor means that your labrum (the cartilage in your shoulder) looked OK ("intact"), and you don't have an obvious labral tear. There could be micro-tears in the cartilage, but the doctor didn't look at it with a microscope. So you don't have a labral tear, which is good news. The bad news is that they don't know the source of your shoulder pain, if you're having any. But if they were just checking you out because you had an accident involving your shoulder, and you feel OK, this confirms that.
How easy can I re-tear my labral muscle after surgery?
A Labrum is not a muscle, Its an area of connective tissue around a joint such as the shoulder or hip, which increases surface area of the joint and aids stability.

However with proper rehab and continual vigilence and exercise, the risk of re-injury can be reduced.
