Slap Tear Treatment in Vikaspuri Uttam Nagar Tilak Nagar

SLAP LESION

Injuries to the glenoid labrum which is the fibrocartilagenous rim that is attached around the scapular glenoid cavity are known as SLAP tear or SLAP lesion. This is known as superior labrum anterior to posterior tear as a superior portion of the labrum tends to get torn in this lesion. This lesion involves the injury to the biceps tendon as it takes origin from the superior labrum.

There are four types of SLAP tears:

Type 1: The bicep tendon only gets frayed degenerative in this and the attachment of the tendon is intact.

Type 2: This is more common. In this, the biceps tendon gets detached along with the superior labrum from the glenoid rim

Type 3: in this the biceps tendon attachment is intact but a buckle handle type of tear of the labrum is evident.

Type 4: This is uncommon, which involves both superior labral buckle handle tear and the bicep tendon detachment from the glenoid rim
