Why do so many people have multiple slap repairs?

Cwenbass OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 41 Karma: 0	With all the posts and info I have read all over, it seems like many people have multiple slap repairs on the same shoulders. What leads to this? Is it the same activities that is jeopardizing the shoulder? Is it weakness because of the initial injury? I am happy I am getting better but makes me nervous about going back to earlier activities.

I am not sure if the people with multiple surgeries are having revision slap repairs or other problems are being addressed. Although any multiple surgery could be called a revision, my upcoming 5th is the only "true" revision as each of the previous ones were for different procedures.
