"type I: fraying of the superior labrum free margin"
"type II: detachment of the superior labrum and biceps anchor from the underlying superior glenoid at the chondrolabral junction (undercuts the anchor)"
"type IIA: anterosuperior extension"
"type IIB: posterosuperior extension"
"type IIC: combined anterosuperior/posterosuperior extension"
"type III: bucket handle tear of the superior labrum without extension into the long head of biceps tendon"
"type IV: bucket handle tear of the superior labrum with extension into the long head of biceps tendon"
"type V: type II SLAP tear in continuity with an anteroinferior Bankart lesion"
"type VI: type II SLAP tear with an unstable labral flap, either anterior or posterior"
"type VII: type II SLAP tear with extension to the capsule and the middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL)"
"type VIII: type IIB SLAP tear with posterior labral extension"
"type IX: complete or near-complete circumferential detachment of the labrum from the glenoid"
"type X: superior labral tear with extension to the rotator cuff interval, superior glenohumeral ligament, or coracohumeral ligament"
"type I: usually asymptomatic and does not require treatment"
"type II: surgical reattachment"
"type III: usually requires resection of the bucket handle tear 2"
"type IV: typically resection of the flap with consideration of biceps tenodesis or tenotomy depending on the degree of tendon involvement 6"
"Beyond these four original types, multiple additional types have been described, although their clinical relevance is controversial. Other described types include 6:"
"SLAP tears involve the superior glenoid labrum, where the long head of the biceps tendon inserts. They can extend into the tendon, involve the glenohumeral ligaments or extend into other quadrants of the labrum. Unlike Bankart and ALPSA lesions, they are uncommonly associated with shoulder instability (20%) 5."
