SLAP is an acronym for "Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior". [1] SLAP lesions are commonly seen in overhead throwing athletes but middle-aged labor workers can also be affected, and they can be caused by chronic overuse or an acute stretch injury of the shoulder.
The most common labrum tears in Japan are in the posterior region, likely due to the customary practice of sitting on the floor. Posterior labrum tears in the Western world usually occur when a force drives the femoral head posteriorly which transfers shear and compressive forces to the posterior labrum. [4]
A SLAP lesion (superior labrum, anterior to posterior) is a tear where the glenoid labrum meets the tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle. Symptoms include increased pain with overhead activity, popping or grinding, loss of strength, and trouble localizing a specific point of pain. [ 3 ]
The acetabular labrum (glenoidal labrum of the hip joint or cotyloid ligament in older texts) is a fibrocartilaginous ring [1] [2] [3] which surrounds the circumference of the acetabulum of the hip, deepening the acetabulum. The labrum is attached onto the bony rim and transverse acetabular ligament. It is triangular in cross-section (with the ...
These tears are called SLAP lesions (superior labrum; anterior, posterior). This sign is specifically seen in type 3 SLAP lesions, which involve a "bucket-handle" tear of predominately the anterior labrum, often with displacement into the joint. On CT, this appears as a ring of contrast material and air surrounding a core of soft tissue. [2]
The acetabular labrum reduces the size of the opening of the acetabulum and deepens the surface of the hip joint. At the lower part of the acetabulum is the acetabular notch , which is continuous with a circular depression, the acetabular fossa , at the bottom of the cavity of the acetabulum.
Labrum (arthropod mouthpart), a flap-like structure in front of the mouth in almost all extant Euarthropoda; Bronwyn Labrum, New Zealand cultural historian and author; Delta Crateris, a star in the constellation Crater with the traditional name Labrum; Acetabular labrum, a ring of cartilage that surrounds the acetabulum, the socket of the hip joint
The capsule of hip joint, articular capsule, or capsular ligament is strong and dense attachment of the hip joint.. Anterosuperiorly, it is attached to the margin of the acetabulum 5 to 6 mm. beyond the labrum behind; but in front, it is attached to the outer margin of the labrum, and, opposite to the notch where the margin of the cavity is deficient, it is connected to the transverse ligament ...
