Additionally, the presence of several variations was reported to be conductive to lesions involving the glenoid labrum. Thus, the aim of this study was to state the prevalence rates of the sublabral recess, sublabral foramen, and the Buford complex, and to verify their association with labral lesions.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to gain potentially eligible literature. Suitable studies were selected in a two-round screening, and relevant data were subsequently extracted. Calculation of the pooled prevalence estimates, including sub-analyses on cohort size, study type, and geographical variance, was conducted. Pooled analysis of risk ratios (RR) was used to assess the conductive nature of the discussed variants to superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The screening resulted in selection of 20 studies investigating the morphological features of the glenoid labrum, consisting of 7601 upper limbs. On the bases of random-effects meta-analysis the sublabral recess, sublabral foramen and Buford complex occur with a pooled prevalence of 57.2% (95% CI 30.0\u201384.4%), 13.5% (95% CI 8.2\u201318.9%), and 3.0% (95% CI 1.5\u20134.5), respectively. Moreover, individuals with Buford complex have RR 2.4 (95% CI 1.3\u20134.7) of developing SLAP lesions, especially type II (95.5%; 95% CI 86.1\u2013100%), whereas such risk for sublabral recess and sublabral foramen was not statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Morphological variants of the glenoid labrum posing diagnostic confusion are frequently observed.
