Injuries of the shoulderjoint are frequent, particulary at athletes in throwing disciplines. In the last few years especially lesions of the labrum glenoidale and first of all the so called SLAP-lesion (superior labrum anterior and posterior lesion) came into the focus of sportsorthopaedics. In this study, in a first part, the labrum glenoidale was examined for the presence of nerval tissue, by using immunohistological methods (RT97) and the goldchlorid staining of de Crinis. The results showed no nerval structures into the labrum itself, but in the area of the exterior fibrous capsule. The second part proved, by a clinical outcome-study of 30 patients, that arthroscopic refixation of the labrum using resorbable tacks or suture-anchors showed a excellent outcome. It also showed, that most patients were satisfied with the treatment. Because of this the method is hihgly recommanded for the treatment of SLAP-lesions.
