Finding a top specialist is important. My surgeon has a wall full of pictures of sports figures he’s operated on. If I was to name drop you’d be impressed. Big name athletes find these guys. He does only shoulders and elbows.

Generally you get one bite at the apple. Second and third surgeries, not so good. These guys are most often at the big centers, usually sports affiliated. In that business function is king, just a small functional impairment can be very expensive and career threatening.

They have their reputations for a reason.
