Superior labral anterior-posterior lesions in rock climbers—primary double tenodesis?

Clin J Sport Med 21(3):261-3 (2011) PMID 21487291

Shoulder problems, especially SLAP (superior labral anterior-posterior) lesions, are frequent in rock climbers. Although various SLAP repair methods demonstrate 75% to 97% good functional outcomes in general population, the results in overhead athletes are inconsistent and the question whether a primary tenodesis is more efficient arises.
