A SLAP tear is an injury to the superior part of the labrum, the cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket. The tear occurs where the biceps tendon attaches to the labrum. SLAP tears can result from acute trauma, repetitive shoulder motion, or age-related wear and tear. Symptoms often include shoulder pain, instability, decreased range of motion, and a catching or locking sensation in the shoulder.
SLAP repair surgery involves reattaching the torn labrum to the shoulder socket using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. This procedure typically involves the following steps:
Arthroscopic Examination: A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the shoulder joint through small incisions to provide a clear view of the labrum and surrounding structures.
Debridement: Any loose or damaged tissue is removed to prepare the area for repair.
Labral Reattachment: Specialized surgical instruments are used to anchor the torn labrum back to the shoulder socket using sutures or small implants.
Minimally Invasive: Utilizes small incisions and arthroscopic techniques, resulting in less tissue damage, reduced pain, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
Effective Pain Relief: Addresses the source of shoulder pain by repairing the torn labrum, leading to significant pain reduction.
Improved Shoulder Stability: Restores the stability and function of the shoulder joint by reattaching the labrum, reducing the risk of future dislocations or instability.
Enhanced Range of Motion: Improves shoulder mobility and strength, allowing for a return to normal activities and sports with greater ease and comfort.
Accelerated Recovery: Promotes faster healing and a quicker return to daily activities due to minimal surgical trauma and reduced scarring.
From initial diagnosis to personalized treatment plans and rehabilitation strategies, we ensure that every aspect of your orthopedic health is meticulously managed.
