- Abstract
Arthroscopic refixation of the glenoid labrum has become a standard treatment of type II SLAP lesions although postoperative results are not uniformly good due to factors which are yet unclear. We present the case of an active overhead athlete with an intraarticular posterosuperior impingement syndrome arising from a suture granuloma formation complicating the postoperative course after arthroscopic SLAP repair. The symptoms resolved completely following revision arthroscopy during which the granuloma and the permanent sutures were removed. Implant related complications should be considered when patients present with recurrent pain after arthroscopic SLAP repair using suture anchors, in particular during overhead activity.
