Yes: Slap( superior labral tears ant / post to biceps tendon) can occur in overhead athletes ( baseball , tennis , volleyball etc) over a period time. They can also occur w/ a defined trauma( getting arm pulled hard or falling on shoulder). Most SLAP tears in young athletes require arthroscopic fixation. See an ORS skilled in arthroscopy. GL!
