http://www.mykneespecialist.com/images/illus-slap-lesion.gif Photo shows the Superior labrum detached from the shoulder joint (glenoid). SLAP is an acronym for a tear that occurs in the glenoid labrum . The labrum is composed of a material called fibrocartilage (firm and rubbery substance). The labrum is the rim of the socket (glenoid) of the ball-and-socket shoulder joint. At the top of the glenoid, the biceps tendon has its insertion into the labrum. A SLAP lesion is when the labrum tears away from its glenoid attachment at the top part of the shoulder. ?S? stands for superior which means top. ?L? stands for labrum. ?A? stands for anterior which means front. ?P? stands for posterior which means back. Thus, a SLAP lesion is a tear of the top part of the labrum from the front to the back of the socket. Repair of the torn labrum is done by affixing the fibrocartilage down to the glenoid bone where it has been detached. Three metallic or bioabsorbable anchors are implanted into the glenoid bone where the labrum is torn away. The doctor first clears away any frayed or torn edges. Holes for the sutures are drilled into the glenoid bone. These anchors have suture attached to them which is passed through the biceps tendon and the torn labrum and fix down to the bone. The sutures are then tied outside the joint and passed down into the joint. Rehab involves protecting range of motion for least 3 weeks. The patient should be nearing full range of motion after 6 weeks. Return to sports should occur around 4 months after surgery. Light throwing can begin after 6 months. http://www.animatedmedical.com/SLAP/shoulder.gif Above is a color code of how the upper (superior) part of the labrum anchors one of the two tendons of the biceps muscle. When the arm is forcefully bent inward at the shoulder, the humerus acts as a lever and tears the biceps tendon and labrum cartilage from the glenoid cavity in a front-to-back (anterior-posterior) direction. Rogers also had chronic bursitis which, Stephanie Rogers (Mark's mother) said in the Portland Sunday Telegram on Sunday, January 14, 2007, was surgically ?cleaned up.? Bursitis is an infection of the Bursa. The most common treatment is antibiotics and rest. If the infection continues the Bursa is either surgically drained via a shunt or removed. The leading cause for SLAP leasion and Bursitis are; 1.) Bad Mechanics 2.) Improper training techniques 3.) OVERUSE, OVERUSE, OVERUSE

Remarkable?just remarkable, ?working out already,? what does that mean? Apparently not only can he throw fire he heals fast too. Is his C-pack removed? What about the bursitis Dr. Conway surgically ?cleaned up?? Did he drain the Bursa or remove it? Can he exercise with a shunt sticking out his joint? In a pre-op interview in Maine Mark said ?his surgery was needed to repair some frayed tissue and tighten up a ligament.? Reportedly ?the shoulder dislocated every time he threw? There are many types of operations to stabilize a shoulder. The most common method of ?tightening up a loose shoulder? prone to dislocation is the Bankart Repair (97% of cases). In this method the doctor first clears away any frayed or torn edges of tissue. Holes are drilled into the scapula bone. The capsular ligaments and labrum are then attached with structures to the bone. The other method is the Capsular Shift. A newer and not as common a procedure, an incision is made to create a flap on the front of the joint capsule. The flap is then pulled over the capsule and sewn together. Both procedures are done by arthroscopic. Which did he have done?

No rumor?confirmed quote. Now, a PR scamper may be forthcoming but, ?torn labrum? was reported. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Looks as if Thunis jumped the gun, removing his post at 2:53pm . Sources here indicate Mark has returned to his home in Maine. Surgery was scheduled for Friday (01/12). He underwent surgical repair for a torn "labrum" no official prognosis was released .

Short or tall, stout or lean, successful pitchers know how to get outs. That?s what Inman does and that?s all that matters.

What?s up with Jeffress? Two hit batters, a wild pitch and 3 runs in just 2 innings. He had 4 KO?s and a walk which is all good but boy his focus is off. Also, where?s Rogers? His last outing was on August 18th. He was in a rotation with Jeffress (Aug 8th, 13th & 18th) but Jeffress has thrown two times since (Aug 23rd & 28th) Is his tendonitis acting up?

Tendonitis in his shoulder? Ouch!

?Tonight, though, another future major league star, Yovani Gallardo, and Joe Valentine held him (Chipper Jones) 0-for-4 at the plate.? This is nice to see. Gallardo vs. Mississippi Bottom 1st Chipper Jones flies out to center fielder Steve Moss. Bottom 3rd Chipper Jones flies out to center fielder Steve Moss. Bottom 6th Chipper Jones strikes out swinging. Valentine vs. Mississippi Bottom 8th Chipper Jones grounds out, second baseman Callix Crabbe to first baseman Brad Nelson. Onil Joseph to 3rd. Gallardo pitched seven complete innings vs. Mississippi allowing two runs (1 earned) on four hits with just two walks and nine strikeouts. This is the third game since joining the Stars that Gallardo has struck out nine batters or better. He last did it on July 20th against Carolina (6.0IP: 5 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, 9 strikeouts) and on July 1st against West Tennessee (7.0IP: 3 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk 10 strikeouts) In those games Gallardo scratched out two wins, while scattering 12 hits on only 4 walks with 28 strikeouts in 20 innings. His ERA is now 1.44 http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Here?s the log report on Rogers?s start against the Rangers. He pitched to 4 batters and while he didn?t allow a hit the inning had the earmark of another typical outing. Top First &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Walk. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Called out on strikes &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Fly out to center field &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Marcus Lemon steals (1) 2nd base. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Wild pitch by Mark Rogers, Marcus Lemon to 3rd. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Called out on strikes Final: Rangers win 9-7

Congratulations to Yo! Does the ?Most Spectacular Pitcher Award ?include all minor league classes?

The Manatees didn?t give an explanation on what the problem is with Rogers but in his last outing his control suffered badly. Rogers faced 24 batters in five innings of work, he allowed 3 runs - all earned on 5 hits, two for doubles with six walks, three wild pitches (2 were back-to-back scoring one in the 3rd inning) and two stolen basses in a 10-5 loss to Juniper.
