Abstract

The improvement of shoulder arthroscopy during the last decades has led to the description of several new conditions or anatomical variations and their associated pathologies. The variable pathologies of the superior labral complex represent a difficult entity to diagnose and treat for every shoulder surgeon. Interpretation and proper treatment of superior labral pathologies could also be further complicated by anatomical variations. We describe a rare case of a SLAP lesion type IV associated with a Buford Complex in a young patient with a painful shoulder after a trauma.
