Abstract
|
|
|
|
Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesion is a tear of the superior labrum, which starts posteriorly and extends anteriorly to include the anchor of the biceps tendon to the superior labrum. Symptoms of SLAP tear may include pain or instability. Recently, with the development of arthroscopy, the diagnosis and treatment of SLAP lesion have been made a lot. However, the diagnosis of clinically relevant SLAP tears remains challenging because of the lack of specific examination findings and the frequency of concomitant shoulder lesion. And there is still controversy regarding the treatment. Accordingly, proper treatment is important through accurate evaluation of whether or not it is a clinically important SLAP lesion.
