SLAP in non-athletic patients. Functional results with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up and risk factors for return to activities.
Abstract
Introduction: the objective of this work will be to report and analyze the results with a minimum of two years of follow-up in non-athlete patients treated for SLAP lesion and to analyze the following variables: type of SLAP, ASES score and history of trauma with the return to normal activities.
Materials and methods: twenty-nine patients treated for SLAP lesions with a minimum follow-up of twenty-four months, operated due to pain, without evident instability were evaluated, 82.76% were male. The average age was 36.82. The function was evaluated in the preoperative period, and in the last follow-up with the ASES score and mobility. The results and risk factors for not returning to their previous activity were analyzed as well.
Results: fourteen patients (48.28%) had associated trauma. There were eight (27.59%) SLAPS type I, seventeen (58.62) type II and four (13.79) type V. Twenty-one (72.4%) patients returned to their previous activity. SLAP type II and V were repaired and type I were debrided.
A statistically significant difference was obtained between the preoperative and final evaluation of anterior flexion (163.96 to 173.4°), internal rotation (58.27 to 71.72°), external rotation (61.55 to 76.89°) ( p <0.05) and ASES score (56.51 to 90.24) (p <0.05). Instead, this does not occur in the subgroup that did not return to its previous activities. The complexity of the SLAP lesion influenced this return.
Conclusions: the results of SLAP lesion arthroscopic reconstruction are functional with a high rate of return to the patient previous activity. The worst results are related to greater slap severity.
