Results showed no association between inferior outcomes and anchor placement anterior to the biceps tendon in patients with type II superior labrum anterior posterior lesions.

William Arroyo, MD, and colleagues reviewed demographic, preoperative and operative variables, including anchor positions, in 49 active-duty service members who underwent arthroscopic repair of type II superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions and evaluated these factors for association with outcomes. Primary outcomes of interest included total failure rate, anchor position and return to military function.
