Core Tip

Core tip: Superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions often lead to painful shoulder impairment and especially in overhead athletes to restriction in sport specific activity. In the context of diagnostic examination, magnetic resonance arthrography is of particular importance, not only in detection of SLAP lesions and concomitent pathologic findings but also in differentiation from normal anatomic variants. Therapeutic options include-besides conservative treatment- arthroscopic SLAP repair and biceps tendon tenodesis. Decision-making in SLAP lesions remains challenging and requires a distinct evaluation of individual patient history, accurate examination and detailed analysis of imaging to meet the requirements of a personalized treatment.
