Abstract
SLAP repair in throwing athletes should be approached with caution. Surgery may help improve symptoms but may not guarantee a return to the preinjury level of competition. Even in the most expert of hands, the rate of return to the preinjury level of performance ranges from 38% to 60% and is as low as 10% for pitchers.
