The RTP rate for MLB pitchers was 93%, significantly higher than the RTSL rate of 71%, indicating successful recoveries post-surgery.
Revision surgery resulted in lower RTP rates (71%) compared to primary surgery (80%), highlighting the challenges in recovery.
The mean time to RTP was significantly shorter at 470 days, compared to 499 days for RTSL, emphasizing the distinctions in recovery timelines.
