Arthroscopic SLAP (Superior Labrum Antero-Posterior) tear

This video demonstrates the technique of Arthroscopically repairing a Superior Labral tear. A SLAP tear can be debilitating for an over head athlete. It can reduce the over-head throwing power of the arm and can cause severe pain while doing over head sports. An untreated SLAP tear can lead to shoulder impingement and consequent Supraspinatus and Subscapularis tears.
