Shoulder Slap Tear Lesions Procedures

Shoulder SLAP (Tear) Lesion Treatment by Dr. Viraj Gandbhir SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) tears are a type of shoulder injury that affect the cartilage (labrum) surrounding the shoulder joint, often causing pain, weakness, clicking sensations, and reduced range of motion. These injuries are commonly seen in athletes, especially those involved in overhead activities, as well as due to trauma or age-related wear. At One Ortho Clinic, Dr. Viraj Gandbhir provides expert diagnosis and treatment for SLAP lesions with over 12 years of orthopaedic and sports injury experience. Treatment begins with a detailed clinical evaluation and imaging to assess the extent of the tear. Depending on the severity, management may include non-surgical options such as rest, medications, and physiotherapy to strengthen the shoulder and improve stability. In cases where symptoms persist, advanced arthroscopic (minimally invasive) surgery is performed to repair the torn labrum and restore normal shoulder function. Dr. Gandbhir follows a personalized approach with structured rehabilitation programs to ensure optimal recovery, helping patients return to their daily activities and sports safely and confidently.
