Video Summary
In the video, Hafeez Kassam discusses slap tears and provides tips for treating patients with this injury. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances of slap tears and having informed conversations with patients. He mentions that slap tears commonly occur in overhead athletes due to overuse or traumatic falls, and there are no specific physical signs to diagnose them. He also discusses the different treatment options based on factors such as age, activity level, and associated injuries. Non-operative treatments, including rest, activity modification, and physical therapy, have shown success rates of 50% to 85%. Surgical options include debridement, repair, or tenotomy/tinnitus procedures, and he recommends having a system and picking appropriate tools for successful slap repair. A specific technique using percutaneous instrumentation for a knotless slap repair is shown in a demonstration video.
