SLAP Lesion in Overhead Throwing Athletes

Morgan and Burkhart Morgan and Burkhart Arthroscopy 1998Arthroscopy 1998

Mechanism of injury in overhead throwing Mechanism of injury in overhead throwing athletes is a torsional force the “peels back” the athletes is a torsional force the “peels back” the biceps and posterior labrum from the neck of biceps and posterior labrum from the neck of the glenoid.the glenoid.

External rotation and abduction twisting force External rotation and abduction twisting force is produced at the base of the biceps and this is produced at the base of the biceps and this transmits a torsional force to the posterior transmits a torsional force to the posterior superior labrumsuperior labrum
