The diagnosis of superior labral injury such as the superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesion remains difficult, as the history, clinical examination, and radiographic evaluation can only raise suspicion. The ultimate diagnosis of the SLAP lesion can only be made with a well-directed ...
Before surgeons repair superior labrum, anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions, decisions must be made concerning two issues. First, is the superior labrum separation from the glenoid a "lesion", or is it an anatomic variant? Second, what is the relationship between the labrum separation and the...
After the improvement in arthroscopic shoulder surgery,superior labrum anterior to posterior(SLAP)tears are increasingly recognized and treated in persons with excessive overhead activities like throwers.Several potential mechanisms for the pathophysiology of superior labral tears have been proposed.The diagno...

Methods: Fifty-eight consecutive patients undergoing superior labral anterior and posterior lesion repair using the trans-rotator cuff portal, who had available both functional and radiological outcomes after 1 year of the operation, were enrolled. We evaluated the structural outcomes for the...

Due to the complexity of shoulder pathomechanics in the overhead athlete, injuries located in the superior aspect of the glenoid, known as superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions, are often a surgical and rehabilitation challenge. In an effort to determine surgical versus conservative...
A typical injury to the labrum is a SLAP lesion. SLAP: "Superior Labral tear, Anterior-to-Posterior" refers to the direction of the cartilage tear. Symptoms for a pitcher include loss of velocity, a dull ache, location issues, and trouble sleeping. Often there is no "I felt it on one...
Purpose To evaluate the presence of a superior labral cleft at postoperative computed tomographic (CT) arthrography after superior labral anterior-to-posterior lesion (SLAP) repair and to correlate CT arthrographic appearance with clinical outcomes.
