Arthroscopic Superior Labrum Anterior-to-Posterior Repair
Superior labrum anterior-to-posterior (SLAP) tears have become increasingly recognized with the improved diagnostic capability of arthroscopy and advanced imaging modalities. First described in a group of throwing athletes by Andrews et al in 1985, SLAP tears were further classified by Snyder et al in 1990. Common to all SLAP tears is detachment of the superior labrum, with or without involvement of the biceps anchor.
