Bankart's lesion and SLAP lesion

1-The most common labrum which could be injured is the anterior labrum.

2-Dislocation of the head of the humerus is dislocated commonly anterior(95%) than posteriorly(5%), when the head is dislocated anteriorly, the anterior labrum is teared because it is one responsible for maintaining the head in its normal position.

3-Bankart's lesion means tearing of the anterior labrum due to anterior dislocation of the head of the humerus.

5-In case of posterior dislocation, the posterior labrum is teared and known as the reverse of Bankart's lesion.

6-SLAP injury is due to injury of the superior labrum which is (mnemonic of superior labrum anterior posterior). Anterior and posterior is description of the site of the tear in relation to the biceps tendon
