Why is it called a slap repair?!


Question: I recently had my right bicep tendon at the top, re-attached to the bone with a titanium screw and some sort of medical high tensile cord wrapped around the tendon. The doctor calls it a slap repair. Why? Is it because they in effect slap it to the bone?
