Should an orthpaedic surgeon be able to diagnose labral tear with bicep rupture during arthoscopic surgery?
Patient: Should an orthpaedic surgeon be able to see there is a labral tear with bicep rupture while he is doing arthoscopic surgery. Was having subcromial decompression, but pain never let up after surgery, had surgery six months (exactly) from first surgery. New doctor found SLAP II tear, had surgery and pain has cleared within three months. Doctor: Hello,Labral tear can be easily seen during arthroscopy. An MRI can also detect the same lesion.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
