Anterior labral tears, located at the front of the hip, are most common. Two contributing factors to the development of anterior tears include hip joint stress, such as repetitive pivoting, and poor vascular supply to the hip joint.
The shoulder labrum is a thick piece of tissue attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place. The labrum can tear a few different ways: 1) completely off the bone, 2) within or along the edge of the labrum, or 3) where the bicep tendon attaches.
A labral tear is an injury to the tissue that holds the ball and socket parts of the hip together. Torn hip labrum may cause pain, reduced range of motion in the hip and a sensation of the hip locking up.
Superior Labrum, Anterior to Posterior tears (SLAP tears), also known as labrum tears, represent 4% to 8% of all shoulder injuries. The L in SLAP refers to your glenoid labrum. Your labrum plays two important roles in keeping your shoulder functioning and pain free.
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum of the shoulder, which is the ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint.
A SLAP lesion (superior labrum, anterior [front] to posterior [back]) is a tear of the rim above the middle of the socket that may also involve the biceps tendon. A tear of the rim below the middle of the glenoid socket that also involves the inferior glenohumeral ligament is called a Bankart lesion.
A hip labral tear is an injury to the labrum, the soft tissue that covers the acetabulum (socket) of the hip. A hip labral tear can be caused by injury, structural problems, or degenerative issues. Symptoms include pain in the hip or stiffness.
A classic overuse injury, swimmer's shoulder occurs when repetitive overhead motions (like swimming, throwing, etc.) cause inflammation in the rotator cuff, compressed tendons and reduced blood flow. Labral tears, on the other hand, can result from both the wear and tear of repetitive motion or from traumatic injury.
A torn shoulder labrum often occurs as a result of overuse or from a blunt force trauma to the shoulder. When a labrum tear occurs, a person will experience shoulder pain, a reduced range of motion, and limited shoulder stability. Treatment often involves OTC medications, cortisone injections, and physical therapy.
Symptoms of a Labral TearA dull throbbing ache in the shoulder joint.Difficulty sleeping due to shoulder discomfort."Catching" of the shoulder joint with movement.Pain with specific activities.Dislocations of the shoulder.
TREATMENT OPTIONS Effective non-surgical solutions include rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medication. Most patients with hip labral tears don't need surgery, but injuries that don't respond to conservative methods may require minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery.
Superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions constitute a recognized clinical subset of complex shoulder pain pathologies. SLAP lesions demonstrate a predilection for young laborers, overhead athletes, and middle-aged manual laborers.
Rotator cuff tendon tear causes & symptoms Rotator cuff tears have very similar symptoms to other shoulder injuries, such as SLAP tears and are best diagnosed by an orthopedic specialist. This is a tear that occurs at the front of the upper arm where the biceps tendon connects to the shoulder in the labrum.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.

When Dr. William Beach M.D. created the arthroscopic CPT codes for the shoulder his intention was to divide the shoulder into an upper half and lower half. Work performed on the upper would be reported with 29807 and lower 29806. What your most likely dealing with is a Type II SLAP tear. Using modifier -22 would not be appropriate simply because it was anterior/posterior. That's actually normal. Now if your physician can identify and document work that is above what is normally performed, then modifier -22 could be used. I know that many physicians think that they are going to get paid more simply because modifier -22 is used. Not true. Due to misuse most insurance companies will review the op note to verify that extra work beyond the normal was actually performed and documented.
