Poster 178: Outcomes of SLAP Repair vs. Biceps Tenodesis of SLAP Lesions in Females: A Retrospective Review

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2023 | Matthew Wallingford, Emma Johnson, John Sonnier, William Johns

Objectives: When surgically managing superior labrum from anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears, there is no consensus on whether SLAP repair or biceps tenodesis yields superior long term outcomes. Additionally, no previous studies have specifically examined outcomes of these procedures in female patients, despite evidence of sex-based differences in recovery following orthopedic...

Editorial Commentary: Outcomes After SLAP Repair and Biceps Tenodesis Are Unpredictable for Throwing Athletes With SLAP Lesions

Arthroscopy | 2025 | Patrick J. Tansey

Abstract SLAP tears have been associated with pain, poor performance, and missed playing time for decades. Treatment of SLAP tears in the throwing athlete, particularly baseball pitchers, remains a significant challenge. As few as 7% of baseball players are able to return to elite‐level performance after a SLAP repair. The throwing athlete must repeatedly orchestrate a sequence...

SLAP Repair Versus Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis for Isolated SLAP Type 2 Lesions in Overhead Athletes Younger Than 35 Years: Comparison of Minimum 2-Year Outcomes

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2022 | Lucca Lacheta, Marilee P. Horan, Philip C. Nolte, Brandon T. Goldenberg

Background: It remains unclear if young overhead athletes with isolated superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) type 2 lesions benefit more from SLAP repair or subpectoral biceps tenodesis. Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes and return to sport in overhead athletes with symptomatic SLAP type 2 lesions who underwent either biceps tenodesis or SLAP repair. Study Design: Coh...

MRI to Arthroscopy Correlations in SLAP Lesions and Long Head Biceps Pathology

Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review | 2017 | K. Linnea Welton, Justin H. Bartley, Nancy M. Major, Eric C. McCarty

Superior labral anterior and posterior lesions and long head biceps injury are 2 common sources of shoulder pain. The presenting complaints and physical examination findings for these etiologies are often nonspecific, making diagnosis challenging. Further complicating their diagnoses, these 2 pathologies often cooccur together or with other shoulder pathologies such as subacrom...

Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis For The Treatment Of Type Two And Four Slap Lesions

Objectives: Despite unsatisfactory outcomes in middle aged patients with SLAP lesions, surgical repair remains the gold standard for most Type II and Type IV SLAP lesions. Given recent data demonstrating higher SLAP repair failure rates in this subset of patients, biceps tenodesis may offer an excellent alternative. To our knowledge, only one study has investigated biceps tenod...
