Please share appropriate links to help this newbie learn.
Also, thank you for the reference to the 2006 list. It seems so much has changed in 10 years, and of course technology has changed, I'd like to help create a new list for new users.
Regarding athletes and surgeons, "Top athletes & team management want the best they can find , since career & team success depends on best outcomes..."
Exactly... I can only find that Thompson and Pearl have done lists of athletes--- is anyone aware of other surgeons being so highly sought after?

Thompson has done the largest number of major league pitchers by far. He just wrote a paper on outcomes for the superstars he has worked on and almost all have returned to the mound - some with more success than others. Pearl has done a few pitchers. One I heard was unsuccessful but he is still a top doc. Dr Illig in Tampa has done a number of professional hockey players. I think this is important information for repetitive stress TOS. Not sure how it translates if the problem began with a traumatic injury. If you want to stay up to date on professional athletes an TOS just google TOS and look under the "news" tab.
Good Luck!
