SHOULDER SLAP LESIONS IN NON-ATHLETIC INDIVIDUALS: TREAT IT OR LEAVE IT A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT VERSUS ARTHROSCOPIC SLAP REPAIR IN 50 PATIENTS

International Journal of Advanced Research | 2025 | Hardikkumar Bhadja, Yagnik Bhuva, Rakesh Jiyani, Nishant Suvagiya

Background:SLAP(Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) lesions are commonly treated surgically in athletes, but their clinical significance in non athletic individuals remains unclear.This study compares conservative treatment with arthroscopic SLAP repair using suture anchors in non-athletes,assessing outcomes, complications, and cost-effectiveness. Methods: A prospective stud...

Developing a Clinical Prediction Model for Failed Nonoperative Management of SLAP Tears (220)

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2021 | Elyse Berlinberg, Matthew Kingery, Amit Manjunath, Danielle Markus

Objectives: Patients with a superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) tear of the shoulder are often initially treated non-operatively, but many do not respond and require surgery. Identifying patients who are likely to fail non-operative management and would benefit from early surgical intervention can shorten time of disability and limit resources utilized on unsuccessful...

Trends in the Management of Isolated SLAP Tears in the United States

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2019 | Gregory L. Cvetanovich, Anirudh K. Gowd, Avinesh Agarwalla, Brian Forsythe

Background: The management of superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears remains controversial, with surgical treatment options including SLAP repair, debridement, and open or arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (BT), based on patient factors and the type of tear. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that SLAP repair has become less frequently performed over time, while BT is more fr...

SLAP TEARS IN THE PEDIATRIC PATIENT: WHO IS TREATING THEM AND WHERE?

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2019 | Lauren Agatstein, Matthew J. Brown, Nicole Friel, Brian Haus

BACKGROUND: Although rare in comparison to adult cohorts, superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears do occur in children and adolescents. Previous publications have focused on the varied surgical treatments of SLAP tears in pediatric hospitals but have not stratified treatments by surgeon training or hospital setting. The objective of this study is to evaluate the demo...

Biceps Tenodesis vs. Repair for Type II SLAP Tears in Patients Under 30 years-old

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2017 | Dominic Van Nielen, Matthew Wilson, James Hammond, Patrick Wakefield Joyner

Objectives: Recent literature has demonstrated good results with biceps tenodesis (BT) following failed SLAP repair. However, it is still unclear if repair or BT provides better outcomes for treatment of type II SLAP tears. We hypothesize that treatment of type II SLAP tears with subpectoral biceps tenodesis vs SLAP repair improves functional outcomes while providing for shorte...

Interobserver Agreement in the Classification of Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears Using the Snyder Classification System

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2016 | Christopher S. Lee, Shane M. Davis, Brittany Doremus, Shalen Kouk

Background: At present, there is no widely accepted classification system for partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, and as a result, optimal treatment remains controversial. Purpose: To examine the interobserver reliability and accuracy of classifying partial rotator cuff tears using the Snyder classification system. We hypothesized that the Snyder classification would be repro...

Analysis of Interobserver and Intraobserver Variability in the Diagnosis and Treatment of SLAP Tears Using the Snyder Classification

The American Journal of Sports Medicine | 2008 | Reuben Gobezie, David Zurakowski, Kyle Lavery, Peter J. Millett

Background Superior labral anterior posterior lesions are a relatively rare entity, and classification as a basis for selection of treatment has remained a point of controversy. Hypothesis There will be substantial interobserver and intraobserver variability in the diagnosis and treatment of superior labral anterior posterior tears by experienced arthroscopic specialists. Study...
