Overview of SLAP Tear Repair
SLAP tear repair is a surgery used to fix a tear in the labrum of the shoulder joint. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that helps stabilize the shoulder. This surgery is commonly done when the tear causes pain, weakness, or difficulty in shoulder movement.
Advanced Insights into SLAP Tear Repair
During SLAP tear repair, the surgeon uses an arthroscope, a small camera inserted through tiny incisions, to see inside the shoulder. Specialized instruments are used to reattach the torn labrum to the bone using sutures or anchors. The procedure is usually performed under regional or general anesthesia. Surgeons may use absorbable or non-absorbable suture anchors depending on the tear type. The minimally invasive approach helps reduce tissue damage and recovery time. This surgery improves shoulder strength, stability, and range of motion for patients with labral injuries.
When is SLAP Tear Repair Needed?
- To treat shoulder instability caused by a torn labrum.
- To relieve persistent shoulder pain that does not improve with physiotherapy or medications.
- To restore strength and motion for athletes with repetitive overhead movements.
- To repair labral damage from trauma, dislocation, or heavy lifting injuries.
