I think if you ask, some surgeon will let you contact former patients, or maybe that was before the HIPPA laws... or if the patients agreed to share the info ahead of time.


It might be easier to look at sports players that had surgery and see how there health/stats are a year or more later.
But if they go back to playing hard....possible re injury is high IMO.

Do a web search on Hank Blalock - baseball player had TOS surgery, recovered OK , but did still have reoccurring shoulder injury, wrist sprains etc...

I don't know how that Jonas brother is doing?? He had TOS surgery.

And I'm sure the big money famous people do get extra special care & mega treatment - because if something does go bad - it will be reported on. No surgeon wants his name mentioned in a bad way.


sorry if I sound a bit cynical LOL
