SLAP tear:
The long head of the bicep tendon attaches to the top of the shoulder socket. It looks a bit like the trunk of a tree with a flared out base that attaches to the rim, also known as the labrum of the shoulder. When the "roots" of the tree are torn, this is called a superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) injury. Injuries of the bicep and labrum complex can feel like a deep pain that radiates down the front of the shoulder.
