Avulsion of the superior labrum.
Snyder et al. coined the term superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesion and classified SLAP lesion into 4 types. Morgan et al. developed a secondary classification of Snyder type II lesions based on the anatomic location. Maffet et al. found that some lesions could not be classified according to classification of Snyder et al.; types V to VII were added to the 4-part classification. In this study, we present the case of a patient with a superior labral tear that could not be classified to any of the reported classification. The superior labrum was detached with cartilage exposing the underlying bone of the glenoid.
