“…From 2011 to 2012, all the patients presenting to the shoulder clinic at the University of Rome Tor Vergata for a unilateral rotator cuff tear were prospectively scrutinized and enrolled in this study according to inclusion end exclusion criteria listed in Table 1. Tears greater than C2 according to Snyder classification [33] were excluded because with the US scanner, it is impossible to visualize torn tendons retracted under the acromion. Tears were diagnosed at MRI, and all clinical and surgical decisions were based on MRI findings, because it is the gold standard in the diagnosis of shoulder pathologies.…”

“…Exclusion criteria in both groups were associated total and subtotal rotator cuff tears stage IV ABC according to Snyder et al [20], a history of shoulder dislocation, and type I SLAP lesions in group I, and additionally, all types of SLAP lesions in group II. Thus, important risk factors for the development of osteoarthritis of the shoulder were excluded.…”

From 2004 to 2008 we evaluated 431 SLAP lesions during 3,395 shoulder arthroscopies and compared two groups of patients, one with SLAP lesion as group I and one without SLAP lesions as group II. Exclusion of type I SLAP lesions, rotator cuff tears and history of dislocation of the shoulder in both groups left 182 cases in group I, and additionally, exclusion of all-type SLAP lesions left 251 patients in group II. In group I, SLAP lesion-associated chondral lesions were present in 20% at the humerus (4% group II, p = 0.005), 18% at the glenoid (5% in group II, p = 0.05) and 14% glenohumeral (3% group II, p = 0.04). We observed a pattern of typical localization of SLAP-associated chondral lesions at the humerus underneath the biceps tendon (78%) and at the anterior half of the glenoid (63%) in group I in contrast to the central region of the humerus (82%) and the central region at the glenoid (55%) in group II. The association of SLAP and chondral lesions was not influenced by the presence of trauma or age of the patients. SLAP lesions seem to be a risk factor for subsequent early onset of osteoarthritis either caused by a bicipital chondral print or glenohumeral instability or a combination of both.

“…A preliminary arthroscopic look was performed on each patients, before starting with the suture of the rotator cuff tear, to evaluate the tear pattern according to Snyder's classification system [28] which consider four types of lesions: C1 (lesion size ≤1 cm), C2 (lesion width between 2 and 3 cm), C3 (lesion width >3 cm) and C4 (massive retracted lesion). Without the use of epinephrine and before using any electric instruments (i.e.…”
