Arthroscopic treatment of type 2 superior labrum anterior posterior lesions
Abstract
Objectives: We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for isolated type 2 superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions.
Methods: Isolated type 2 SLAP lesions were treated with arthroscopic repair with suture anchors in eight patients (5 males, 3 females; mean age 48.5 years; range 27 to 60 years) with shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatment. The mean duration of symptoms was 18.6 months (range 2 to 48 months). Initial diagnoses were based on patients’ complaints and findings of physical examination and radiologic imaging and were confirmed at diagnostic arthroscopy. Two suture anchors were used in six patients. Patients were evaluated with physical examination, radiographs, and the UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) score. The mean follow-up was 30.8 months (range 14 to 48 months).
Results: The mean preoperative and postoperative UCLA scores were 13.3 (range 10 to 18) and 30.8 (range 24 to 33), respectively (p
