SLAP Tear and Rotator Cuff Surgery in Jaipur
Shoulder injuries are among the most common conditions currently, mainly among athletes and anyone whose everyday living engages various movements by the body. An injury mentioned in this context is a SLAP tear injury, that is, Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior tear. SLAP tear injury is an injury through which the shoulder's labrum gets damaged. Dr. Vikram Sharma at Sports Med Jaipur provides expert care, including advanced SLAP tear surgery to help patients recover and regain full shoulder function. The causes are often repeated overhead movements, traumatic injuries caused by falls, or age-related factors. Slap tears commonly affect athletes playing sports like cricket, swimming, and tennis.

Common signs of a SLAP tear include:
- Pain when moving the shoulder or carrying heavy loads
