Abstract
A previously undescribed mechanism of injury for posterior Type IT SLA P lesions is described. The primary feature of this mechanism is a tor sional peel-back of the posterosuperior labrum. Secure fixation by pos terior-superior placement of suture anchors into the posterosuperior c orner of the glenoid is essential. The repair must be protected agains t torsional peel-back forces by avoiding external rotation beyond 0 de grees for 3 weeks.
