Type II SLAP Tear of the Right Labrum

SKU: S14101

This exhibit depicts the anterior anatomy of the glenohumeral joint with a type II SLAP tear of the labrum. Anatomical structures include: the acromion process, clavicle, coracoid process, glenoid cartilage, glenoid labrum, long head of the biceps brachii, supraspinatus, humeral head, and scapula. The glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilagenous rim of tissue that provides stability to the shoulder socket and serves as the insertion site for the long head of the biceps brachii. There are four classifications of labral injuries known as SLAP tears (SLAP I-IV). SLAP is an acronym representing "Superior Labral tear from Anterior to Posterior." A SLAP II tear includes detachment of the superior labrum and biceps anchor from the glenoid rim of the scapula.
