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 prevalence rate for traumatic hip injuries that causes a tear of the labrum is very low. Less than 25% of all patients can relate a specific incident to their torn labrum; however, they are often a result of a dislocation or fracture. [5] Falling on one's side causes a blunt trauma to the greater trochanter of the femur.
Over time, with enough force, a tear may develop in the labrum. The labrum is a rim of cartilage around the shoulder socket to help hold the head of the humerus (upper arm) in the joint. This condition is called a superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesion. The outcome in all these steps is the dead arm phenomenon.
Arthroscopic surgery also allows for shorter recovery time [29] although differences in postoperative pain or pain medication use are not seen between arthroscopic- and open-surgery. [68] A 2015 study suggests that surgery is not clearly superior to conservative treatment in terms of functional outcomes at 1 year.
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 ]
Subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord, also known as myelosis funiculus, or funicular myelosis, [1] also Lichtheim's disease, [2] [3] and Putnam-Dana syndrome, [4] refers to degeneration of the posterior and lateral columns of the spinal cord as a result of vitamin B 12 deficiency (most common).
The labrum plays an important role in maintaining the biomechanical stability of the hip joint. Studies [6] have shown that damage to the labral tissue can result in disruption of the labral suction-seal, a fluid force paramount in maintaining hip joint integrity. An intact labrum also helps to buttress the hip joint to distraction forces. [7]
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 ...
