I went to three orthopedic surgeons about torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders. I asked them. One said he does 20 shoulder surgeries a year. One said she did not do them, but would refer me to someone that did. The last one said he does more than almost anyone in the world. That is all he does, and he has been doing them for 25 years. He is at the Mayo Clinic. But I have to wait for 5 months after the MRI results to get the surgery.
I read somewhere that 20 a year is the average.
