I was a professional road cyclist and had TOS surgery - 1st rib removal- for a venous and neurogenic compression caused by aggressive riding style. My surgery was in 2011. I consulted with three other surgeons before Donahue and he was hands down the right choice for me. He shared with me that he also has performed the surgery on professional baseball players.

I see that Pearl and Thompson both report on many professional athletes they have treated successfully.
However, I cannot find lists of professional athletes that have had surgery done by other docs; Donahue, Lum, etc.
First, have I missed the list somewhere?
Second, if these two docs are where the professional athletes are recommended to go by their many handlers, is it because they have done their research and these docs are the best?
Many thanks for your replies,
Jaime
