After the surgical repair of isolated type II or greater SLAP tears, other position players displayed superior RTP (91.3% vs 80.0%, respectively) and RTPP (78.3% vs 52.3%, respectively) rates than pitchers. Long-term follow-up suggests that pitchers may perceive greater long-term impairments than other position players and are less likely to return to their previous or higher performance level.
