Background: Some authors have described the ganglion cyst of the spinoglenoidal notch as related to repetitive overhead activities and labral tear caused by trauma, while others have explained lesions of the capsulolabral complex and ganglion cysts to have separate pathologies. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical and radiological outcomes between 2 groups: 1 with superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) repair only and the other with SLAP repair and cyst decompression prospectively.
Materials And Methods: From August 2000 to March 2007, 28 patients matching the inclusion criteria were selected for the study.
