Objective : SLAP is rupture of biceps brachii muscle tendon and it's origin, posterior side of superior labral to anterior glenoid fossa. Snapping and Pain, instability are its typical symptoms. SLAP is physical damage so surgeons use arthroscopy. In point of surgeons view, a conservative medicine is not effective for lesion of labrum. So In this article, we report a result of conservative treatment for the amatuer baseball player diagnosis with type 2 superior labral anterior posterior lesion. Methods : In this case, patient played amatuer baseball for 2 years, had diagnosis with type 2 Superior labral anterior posterior lesion by MRI after right shoulder Injury. OS recommened arthroscopy surgery. But he receive conservative Korean medicin treatment in Korean medicine hospital, including Atx, BV, herbal acupunture and rehabilitation excersise. Results : After 6 months, in the end of continuous conservative treatment and rehabilitation excersise, patient can play baseball normally, and felt a little pain. But In physical examination, he still has a some abnormal signs. Conclusion : A Conservative treatment for an amatuer baseball player diagnosis with SLAP type 2 was effective in restore of fuctional activities, but usefulness of this treatment needs more study.

Purpose: A triple labral lesion represents a combination of injuries of the anterior, posterior and superior glenoid labrum. The injury mechanism and symptoms is not completely understood. Materials and Methods: We encountered a triple labral injury in a 39-year-old male complaining pain and active abduction difficulty after a motor vehicle accident. Currently, he does not complain any instability symptoms. The labrum was repaired using bio-absorbable suture anchors and a suture hook. Results: Eighteen months following surgery, the active range of motion was restored and he had no difficulty in his daily activities.

Lesion of the superior glenoid labrum and the insertion of the biceps tendon are a common cause for shoulder pain in patients performing overhead sports. Medial shearing stress during overhead throwing may cause biceps instability and associated rotator cuff problem aggravates the symptoms. Careful attention to the history and physical examination and may arouse suspicion of injury to the biceps tendon and the superior labral complex. Progress in shoulder arthroscopy has led to the identification of the lesion and normal variation. Treatment should be directed according to the type of lesion and related symptoms.

No imaging test accurately defined the superior labral pathology preoperatively. Diagnostic ability is enhanced by the ultimate diagnostic test, arthroscopy. We review the presentation, evaluation and treatment modalities of superior labrum anterior and posterior lesions.

Purpose: Labral lesions and its anatomic variants have been studied by several authors in the last decade. Buford complex and sublabral recess are most common variants. Their recognition is important in order to distinguish them from superior and anterior labral tear. Materials and Methods: We report one case of a 19-year-old female who was mistaken SLAP lesion for normal variant and was treated with arthroscopic surgery. Results: The arthroscopic finding shows rare normal variant of biceps anchor and superior labrum. The biceps long head tendon was inserted at superior labrum and supraspinatus tendon area. This finding was mistaken to SLAP lesion. Conclusion: We report rare normal variant of biceps anchor and superior labrum that was observed during arthroscopic surgery for SLAP lesion.

Labral lesions and anatomic variants have been studied by several authors in the last decade. Buford complex and sublabral recess and foramen are most common variants. Their recognition is important in order to distinguish them from superior and anterior labral tear. We report rare normal variant of biceps anchor and superior labrum that was observed during arthroscopic surgery for SLAP lesion.

The Buford complex is unusual variant of the glenohumeral joint. This complex is distinguished by a cord-like middle glenohumeral ligament that oriented directly form the superior labrum at the base of the biceps tendon and crosses the subscapularis tendon to insert on the humerus. There is no anterior-superior labral tissue present between this attachment and the mid-glenoid notch. This anatomical variation may lead the surgeon to confuse this complex with a sublabral hole, pathologic labral detachment, Bankart lesion or SLAP lesion. We report a case of Buford complex which was found incidentally during the operation of impingement syndrome with stiffness and treated with subacromial decompression only.

SLAP(Superior labrum anterior to posterior) lesion is found in superior labrum injury alone and also combined with extension of the Bankart lesion(anteroinferior labral tear) in recurrent shoulder dislocation patients and rarely accompanied by the posterior Bankart lesion. There have been reports about SLAP lesions associated with various lesions, however, posterior type II SLAP lesion associated with posterior Bankart lesion has been rarely reported. In such a case, there are important technical tips in inserting anchors and suturing during arthroscopic repair. We experienced a rare case of posterior type II SLAP lesion associated with posterior Bankart lesion, occurred not after repetitive throwing(common mechanism) but after trauma in slipping down with the arm stretched during riding a bicycle. The satisfactory result was obtained after arthroscopic repair in this case.
