Diagnosis of Superior Labrum Anterior-to-Posterior Tears by Using MR Imaging and MR Arthrography: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

MR Arthrography: Superior Labral Anterior-Posterior (SLAP) Lesions

Biceps tenodesis and superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears.

I njuries of the superior labrum–biceps complex (SLBC) have been recognized as a cause of shoulder pain since they were first described by Andrews and colleagues 1 in 1985. Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears are relatively uncommon injuries of the shoulder, and their true incidence is difficult to establish. However, recently there has been a significant increase in the reported...

Superior labrum anterior to posterior lesions and the superior labrum.

The fibrocartilaginous glenoid labrum contributes to shoulder stability and provides attachment for the long head of biceps tendon and the glenohumeral ligaments. The superior site of attachment of the long head of biceps (biceps anchor) represents a site of injury to the superior labrum where tearing may extend into the biceps tendon as well as anterior and/or posterior to the biceps anchor. S...

Molecular imaging approaches in the diagnosis of breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction:The accuracy of positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT), positron emission mammography (PEM), and breast specific-gamma imaging (BSGI) in diagnosing breast cancer has never been systematically assessed, the present systematic review was aimed to address this issue.  Methods:PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE were searched for st...

Evaluation of the acetabular labrum by MR arthrography.

Since January 1993 we have carried out MR arthrography on 23 patients with clinical symptoms and signs of abnormality of the acetabular labrum. Most of the patients were young adults. Such symptoms are known precursors of osteoarthritis, and therefore early and accurate evaluation is required. We assessed the value of MR arthrography of the hip as a minimally-invasive diagnostic technique, in a...
