Course Information

This course includes the recording of a live Instructional Course from the 2024 AOSSM Annual Meeting which took place in Denver, CO.

IC 301: Down with the SLAP: A Case-Based Approach to Biceps, Labral and Shoulder Dysfunction

Course Description:

The SLAP lesion and proximal biceps dysfunction remain enigmas of sports medicine. Despite their reported prevalence, the root cause remains a mystery and recent studies indicate the posterior labrum may be the site of most of the clinically significant pathoanatomy. The purpose of this case-based instructional lecture is to provide insight and discussion into the controversies surrounding biceps and labral pathology in the athlete and active individual. This course will explore normal and pathologic appearances of the biceps anchor and labrum while developing a foundational understanding of the pathomechanics that lead to pathoanatomy. Case presentations will review both operative and nonoperative treatments in the active individual with an emphasis on the overhead athlete.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

Define normal anatomy and pathoanatomy of the labrum and labral biceps complex.
Identify physical exam findings and their correlation to shoulder pathomechanics and pathoanatomy.
Describe surgical methodology to treat the pathoanatomy and corresponding rehabilitation strategies to correct pathomechanics.
