Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of anatomical factors degenerative superior labrum anterior to posterior lesion in rotator cuff tear. The study included 421 middle-aged patients treated using arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff tears. Patients were divided into two groups based on the superior labrum anterior-to-posterior (SLAP). Glenoid inclination, glenoid length, humeral head diameter, acromio-humeral distance (AHD) head-glenoid difference (HGD), head glenoid angle (HGA), size and retraction of rotator cuff tears were evaluated in both groups. In conclusion, a HGD exceeding 10 mm could be anatomically predictive of degenerative SLAP. Case series, Level IV.
