SLAP III, Cheerio Sign

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

So we've shown you, um, uh,

0:03

glenoid internal rotation deficit with a Bennet like lesion.

0:07

We talked about slap lesion,

0:08

showed you a SLAP lesion in a middle age to young-ish,

0:12

55-year-old volleyball player.

0:14

55. Seems really young now.

0:16

And uh, this time we have another SLAP lesion,

0:20

which you've seen before.

0:21

This is perhaps a better example,

0:23

and I'll be rather quick with this one.

0:25

Remember I said when you have a vertically oriented tear

0:30

that's just too wide, it, it's a cavern instead of a,

0:33

a crevice, uh, then you should think about, uh,

0:37

uh, slap three.

0:38

Uh, and this one demonstrates the cheerio sign

0:42

of slap three, which I mentioned yesterday.

0:45

I showed you the Oreo cookie sign and here's your cheerio.

0:49

And true to form, as Don described, the biceps comes back,

0:53

there's the superior tubercle of the glenoid,

0:56

and most of the time the biceps is in the back.

0:59

And when you have involvement, uh, of the undersurface

1:02

of the biceps, be it slap two or slap three,

1:05

or even a hypermobile biceps,

1:07

the patients are usually symptomatic.

1:09

And this patient certainly was.
