Slap

The term SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior. In a SLAP injury, the top (superior) part of the labrum is injured. This top area is also where the biceps tendon attaches to the labrum. A SLAP tear occurs both in front (anterior) and back (posterior) of this attachment point.

Subacromial Decompression (Acromioplasty)

An operation on your shoulder, it’s used to treat a condition called shoulder impingement. This is when the bones and tendons in your shoulder rub against each other when you raise your arm, causing pain. The word ‘subacromial ‘means ‘under the acromion’.

Shoulder Replacement

An orthopaedic surgeon will replace the natural bone in the ball and socket of your shoulder joint with a material that could be metal or plastic. It’s a major surgery that’ll keep you in the hospital for several days. You’ll also need several weeks of physical therapy afterward.

​Intra-Articular Steroid Injections

This is a type of treatment method for relief from joint pain. These steroids are used to decrease the inflammatory reaction associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The most prominent indication of the use of such steroid injection is conservative management of an impingement.
