Inter-rater and intrarater reliability of superior labrum anterior to posterior lesion classification using magnetic resonance arthrography.

Overall, classification using MRa resulted in significant disagreement between and within raters. Trained radiologists demonstrated higher overall levels of agreement than orthopedic surgeons. In summary, when using MRa to assess SLAP lesions, Snyder and Maffet classification demonstrates poor reliability by orthopedic surgeons and moderate reliability when used by musculoskeletal radiologists.
