What Is a SLAP Tear?
The SLAP or Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior shoulder injury is a tissue tear of the shoulder area. It is a painful injury, that can affect how the person uses his arm into the future. There are differing types of injuries to the shoulder indicative of this injury, and it will determine the extent of the injury. The levels of a SLAP tear include:
- Type I SLAP Tear – a frayed edge of the labrum with the glenoid remaining intact.
- Type II SLAP Tear – acute tearing with the long head of the biceps (LHBT) tendons torn.
- Type III SLAP Tear – the bucket-handle pattern, with the LHBT unaffected.
- Type IV SLAP Tear – anterior shoulder instability and anterior labral tears.
- Type V SLAP Tear – Type II as well as anterior shoulder instability.
- Type VI SLAP Tear – Large superior labral flaps without detachment of LHBT.
- Type VII SLAP Tear – Type II SLAP tear with middle and inferior compromise and instability.
- Type VIII SLAP Tear – Type II SLAP with cartilage injury next to the bicipital footplate.

A SLAP Tear Can Lead to a Disability, with Long Treatment Outcomes
If you have had an accident that led to a SLAP tear, you may have a long road to recovery afterwards. This is because there can be issues related to the SLAP lesion, that will restrict your range of motion and rotation in your shoulder or other affected areas of the body. You can have issues with the following movements after a SLAP tear, namely:
- Shoulder abduction
- End-range external rotation
- Tensile strength
- Eccentric or torsional forces
- Biceps-labral complex issues
- Pain in the posterior-superior or anterior-superior glenohumeral joint
- Posterior shoulder tightness
- Popping or clicking in shoulder joints
- Compression-rotation issues
- Full-thickness rotator cuff tears
- Acromioclavicular joint injuries
- Humeral head fractures
- Bankart lesions
Your healthcare provider or physical therapist may recommend exercises, pharmaceuticals, medications, at home exercises or other therapies to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with your disabled shoulder. You will need to have continued rehabilitation to review the deficits in the shoulder internal rotation, the total arc of motion, and the total measured horizontal-adduction range of motion. You will have long range issues or even a disability for the long-term in most cases. The disability may be devastating, regarding your periscapular and glenohumeral muscle strength. There may be issues with endurance, and your forward diagnosis of neuromuscular control as well.
