Labrum SLAP Tear
Your labrum is soft tissue that connects the socket part of the scapula (called the glenoid) with the head of the humerus. A tear in the labrum results in insufficient cushioning between those bones.

Pain in the back of the knee when straightening the leg is called posterior knee pain. Finding the cause can be difficult as it can come from problems with the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, or vascular system.
If you have pain in your upper arm or shoulder, you may have irritated your biceps tendon, a condition known as biceps tendonitis. The pain may limit your shoulder motion and make performing normal work and recreational tasks difficult or impossible.
The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic results of bridging rotator cuff reconstruction (BRR) with dermal allograft and maximal repair for large or massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Rotator cuff tears may require surgery to repair, but they can often heal with rest, physical therapy, and medication when needed. Discuss with your orthopedist when to have or not have rotator cuff surgery.
