Case Discussion
Seeing as this patient is older than 40, the SLAP tear is probably associated with the supraspinatus tear.
Luckily for the patient, the supraspinatus tendon did non retract, as it was held in place by a "thread" of several intact fibers. This is why the supraspinatus had not undergone any fatty degeneration, which means that surgical repair is warranted.
