SLAP(Superior labrum anterior to posterior) lesion is found in superior labrum injury alone and also combined with extension of the Bankart lesion(anteroinferior labral tear) in recurrent shoulder dislocation patients and rarely accompanied by the posterior Bankart lesion. There have been reports about SLAP lesions associated with various lesions, however, posterior type II SLAP lesion associated with posterior Bankart lesion has been rarely reported. In such a case, there are important technical tips in inserting anchors and suturing during arthroscopic repair. We experienced a rare case of posterior type II SLAP lesion associated with posterior Bankart lesion, occurred not after repetitive throwing(common mechanism) but after trauma in slipping down with the arm stretched during riding a bicycle. The satisfactory result was obtained after arthroscopic repair in this case.
