This review concluded that Yergason's test was the only clinical test to show a statistically significant positive likelihood ratio, but a positive Yergason's test only slightly increased the likelihood of a superior labral antero-posterior lesion of the shoulder being present.
1 kwi 2004 · In the setting in which glenohumeral internal rotation deficit is the primary cause of the SLAP lesion and a preoperative posterior-inferior capsular stretching program has not improved internal rotation, a posterior capsular release in conjunction with a Type II SLAP lesion repair is indicated.
1 lut 2009 · A relatively new test for SLAP lesions: pronated load test. The patient's shoulder is abducted to approximately 90°, and the examiner passively externally rotates the shoulder with the forearm in pronation.
The test was devised in 1931 for detecting bicipital tendonitis. It is however now clear that the pain may arise from tenosynovitis, tendinopathy, or a SLAP lesion. It also assesses the ability of the transverse humeral ligament to hold the biceps tendon in the bicipital groove.
The physical examinations included were the O'Brien (n = 16), speed (n = 8), Yergason (n = 6), anterior slide (n = 8), crank (n = 7), Jobe (n = 5), dynamic labral shear (n = 3), Kim 2 (n = 3), and biceps groove tenderness tests (n = 3). All combinations of 2 to 5 maneuvers in both series and parallel were considered.
18 lip 2013 · SLAP lesions are often complex injuries with varied defects and tissue involvement that are challenging to diagnose clinically. The literature notes the need for visualization under arthroscopy for adequate diagnostic accuracy.
The physical examination: A combination of two sensitive tests and one specific test is useful to diagnose a SLAP lesion. Sensitive tests include: Compression rotation test; O’Briens test; Apprehension Test; Specific tests include: Speed’s test; Yergason’s test; Biceps load test II
