Popis: Surgical management of the throwing shoulder has unique challenges specific to the high demands of the overhead throwing motion. This chapter reviews the various rotator cuff and SLAP (superior labrum anterior and posterior) repair and instability and posterior release techniques used to return these athletes to the field. Successful return to competitive throwing after shoulder surgery requires a combination of thoughtful preoperative planning, meticulous surgical technique, and a comprehensive goal-oriented postsurgical rehabilitation program.
