Which labral pathology is most inferior? 

Injury to the long thoracic nerve usually causes tricep weakness and atrophy.

The sternoclavicular joint is often injured due to lack of equipment protection and an ATC should not be extremely concerned with a dislocation of this joint because no vital structures can be damaged.
