Superior labral anterior posterior lesions of the shoulder: Current diagnostic and therapeutic standards

Figure 4 Superior labral anterior posterior I lesion: Intraoperative findings in shoulder arthroscopy (posterior-anterior view from the posterior portal of a right shoulder). A: A degenerative fraying of the superior labrum could be detected by diagnostic arthroscopy; B: After debridement of the superior labrum, a sublabral recess appears. The presence of a type II SLAP lesion should be excluded; C: A more detailed demonstration of the sublabral recess (arrowhead) with smooth lining without instability of the labro-bicipital complex. LBC: Labro-bicipital complex; H: Humeral head; G: Glenoid; SLAP: Superior labrum anterior posterior.
