No Advantages in Repairing a Type II Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior (SLAP) Lesion When Associated with Rotator Cuff Repair in Patients over Age 50

Abstract

There are no advantages in repairing a type II SLAP lesion when associated with a rotator cuff tear in patients over 50 years of age. The association of rotator cuff repair and biceps tenotomy provides better clinical outcome compared with repair of the type II SLAP lesion and the rotator cuff.
