Op het Europese schouder en elleboog congres beschreef onderstaande Amerikaanse onderzoeksgroep de tegenvallende resultaten van het vastzetten van deze scheur, hetgeen de discussie ontlokte of een dergelijk letsel goed te behandelen is op de wijze zoals hier beschreven. In de discussie werd geopperd dat dit een mogelijk niet te repapren letsel is en dat de behandeling beperkt dient te blijven tot het schoonmaken van de resten van het labrum en dat de bicepspees dient te worden doorgesneden en wederom vastgezet moet worden op een andere plaats dan het kommetje van de schouder, nl de kop van de bovenarm, middels een zogenaamde tenodese.
Met name de patienten boven de 36 jaar hadden een groot risico op een tegenvallend resultaat.

Purpose
To prospectively determine the clinical outcomes of the arthroscopic surgical treatment of Type 2 SLAP tears in a young, active patient population, and to elucidate factors associate with failure of treatment.Material and MethodsA total of 209 patients with mean age of 31.6 (range, 18 to45) over a 4-year period with a SLAP tear were prospectively enrolled. Two sports/shoulder trained orthopaedic surgeons performed SLAP 2 repair with between 1 to 2 anchors (mean 1.6 anchors) and vertical suture construct. At a mean of 40.4 months (range 26-62months), a total of 179 patients underwent a comprehensive preoperative and postoperative assessment with WOSI, ASES, SANE, and physical examination of range of motion. In addition, a failure analysis was conducted to determine variables associated with failure.ResultsOut of the 179 patients, there were a total of 56 patients (31.2%) failures, 48 have undergone revision surgery to a biceps tenodesis (in 40), tenotomy (in 4), and debridement (in 4). The mean preoperative scores (WOSI = 54%, SANE = 50%, ASES = 65) improved to postoperative scores (WOSI = 82%, SANE = 85%, ASES = 88). However, in those that had failed, the mean scores were not statistically different from preoperative scores. The mean postoperative range of motion was 150 degrees of flexion, 145 abduction, and 60 external rotation at the side, and was much less in those that had failed the procedure. Advanced age within the cohort (>36) was associated with a statistical increase in failure.ConclusionRepairs of SLAP 2 lesions remain a challenge. This study demonstrated that over 31% of the patients had failed, with a high revision rate. Those over the age of 36 were associated with a higher chance of failure.
