Background: Although our understanding of superior labral anterior posterior lesions has grown, the physical diagnosis remains imperfect.
Study Design: Cohort study (diagnostic); Level of evidence, 2.
Purpose: To determine the most effective provocative maneuver with which to diagnose superior labral anterior posterior lesions.
Methods: A series of 132 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy were examined preoperatively over a 6-month period, and the final diagnosis in each case was made arthroscopically. The following assessments were included: active compression (O'Brien), anterior slide, pain provocation, crank, Jobe relocation, Hawkins, Neer, Speed, and Yergason tests.
Results: The most sensitive diagnostic tools for type II superior labral lesions were the active compression, Hawkins, Speed, Neer, and Jobe relocation tests. When type I and type II lesions were combined, the results were similar. However, none of the sensitive tests were specific for either type I or type II lesions.
Conclusions: The authors' results contradict the current literature regarding provocative testing for both stable and unstable superior labral lesions. There is no single maneuver that can accurately diagnose superior labral anterior posterior lesions; arthroscopy remains the standard by which to diagnose such lesions.

Return to Play After Arthroscopic Superior Labral Repair: A Systematic Review.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Background: Superior labral tears are common shoulder injuries among athletes, and for athletes undergoing surgical intervention, one of the main priorities is to return to preinjury levels of activity in a timely manner. However, the literature surrounding return to play after superior labral repair presents inconsistent results, with limited studies evaluating the timing of return to play.
Purpose: To systematically review the rate and timing of return to play in athletes after arthroscopic superior labral repair.
In all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, restoring native patient anatomy has shown improved outcomes in comparison to nonanatomic reconstructions. Particular attention has been paid to the hip capsule, as the complex of the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments, as well as the zona orbicularis and iliocapsularis, all play an essential role in hip stability, mechanics, and maintenance of intra-articular pressures. An anatomic approach toward hip arthroscopy also includes labral repair or reconstruction with preservation of the chondrolabral junction and cam resection.

Background: Anterior shoulder instability is a common pathology seen especially in young men and highly active patient populations. Subluxation is a commonly encountered clinical issue, yet little is known about the effects of first-time subluxation compared with dislocation on shoulder stability and clinical outcomes after surgical stabilization.
Purpose: To compare revision and redislocation rates as well as patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between subluxators and dislocators after a first-time anterior shoulder instability event.
Is Periacetabular Osteotomy With Hip Arthroscopy Superior to Periacetabular Osteotomy Alone? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
December 2024
From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Introduction: There remains ongoing controversy regarding the optimal treatment strategy of hip dysplasia, with some advocating for the addition of hip arthroscopy to periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) to address concomitant labral tears. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the clinical outcomes, complications, and joint preservation of PAO and PAO with hip arthroscopy.
Methods: A literature search was done, and studies were included if they reported outcomes of PAO with concomitant hip arthroscopy, PAO with staged hip arthroscopy, or compared outcomes of PAO alone versus PAO with hip arthroscopy.
Combined hip arthroscopy with periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia: a systematic review.

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical procedure that corrects acetabular dysplasia without necessarily addressing intra-articular pathology. Hip arthroscopy is being increasingly used to address soft tissue pathologies at the time of a PAO. This review aims to determine patient-reported outcome measure scores (PROMs) of combining hip arthroscopy and PAO.
