Where does a SLAP lesion on the biceps come from?

A large portion of the long head of the biceps originates from the top (superior) portion of the labrum. Overhead sports can create significant forces at this attachment site. This can ultimately lead to injury and tears of the biceps off this attachment. This is called a SLAP lesion (Superior Labral Anterior to Posterior tear).

Which is the most common type of SLAP tear?

There are four basic types of SLAP tears.3 A Type II SLAP tear is the most common type of SLAP tear requiring surgical reconstruction (Figure 2).3In this type of tear the long head of the biceps remains attached to the labrum but the labrum has been detached from the Bicipital groove Scapula Glenoid fossa Humeral head

How is a SLAP lesion compared to a golf ball?

Rehabilitation Guidelines For SLAP Lesion Repair The anatomic configuration of the shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is often compared to a golf ball on a tee. This is because the articular surface of the round humeral head is approximately four times greater than that of the relatively flat shoulder blade face (glenoid fossa)1(Figure 1).

According to William F.B., SLAP lesions had an association of 43% with the medial sheath lesion. the author postulates that forces that affect the biceps anchor may also damage the pulley system of the bicipital sheath and, as such, this anatomic structure should be evaluated, especially when SLAP lesions are present.
