Inferior subluxation may facilitate type II SLAP lesions in cadavers; hypothesis-generating, needs in vivo confirmation before clinical relevance.

Inferior subluxation of the shoulder facilitates the generation of type II SLAP lesions during biceps tendon traction in a biomechanical cadaver model.
Bey et al. (1998) studied SLAP lesions (n=16). Inferior subluxation (20 mm) vs. Reduced position was evaluated on Creation of type II SLAP lesions (p=.03). Inferior subluxation of cadaveric shoulders significantly increased the creation of type II SLAP lesions during biceps traction compared to a reduced position (87.5% vs 25.0%; P=0.03).
