There is evidence in literature to support both surgical and non-surgical forms of treatment. In some, physical therapy can strengthen the supporting muscles in the shoulder joint to the point of reestablishing stability. Surgical treatment of<unk> s has become more common in recent years. The success rate for repairing isolated<unk> s is reported between 74-94%. While surgery can be performed as a traditional open procedure, an arthroscopic technique is currently favored being less intrusive with low chance of iatrogenic infection.<unk>  Repair of<unk> Repair of<unk>  Associated findings within the shoulder joint are varied, may not be predictable and include: *<unk>  lesion – labrum/glenoid separation at the tendon of the biceps muscle * Bankart lesion – labrum/glenoid separation at the inferior glenohumeral ligament * Biceps Tendon - exclusion of pulley injury * Bone – glenoid, humerus — injury or degenerative change involving joint surface * Anatomical variants — sublabral foramen, Buford Complex (these are important to differentiate, as operating on them can lead to iatrogenic stiffness) Although good outcomes with<unk>  repair over the age of 40 are reported, both age greater than 40 and Workmen's Compensation status have been noted as independent predictors of surgical complications. This is particularly so if there is an associated rotator cuff injury. In such circumstances, it is suggested that labral debridement and biceps tenotomy is preferred.<unk>  (Superior Labral Tear, Anterior to Posterior) * Type 1 * Fraying of Superior Labrum * Biceps Anchor Intact * Type 2 * Superior Labrum detached * Detachment of the Biceps Anchor * Type 3 * Bucket Handle type tear of Superior Labrum * Biceps Anchor INTACT * Type 4 * Bucket Handle tear of Superior Labrum * Extension of tear in Biceps Tendon * Part of Biceps Anchor still INTACT Procedure Arthroscopic<unk>  Lesion (type 2) repair Following inspection and determination of the extent of injury, the basic labrum repair is as follows. * The glenoid and labrum are roughened to increase contact surface area and promote re-growth. * Locations for the bone anchors are selected based on number and severity of tear. A severe tear involving both<unk>  and Bankart lesions may require seven anchors. Simple tears may only require one. * The glenoid is drilled for the anchor implantation. * Anchors are inserted in the glenoid. * The suture component of the implant is tied through the labrum and knotted such that the labrum is in tight contact with the glenoid surface.
