I'd be concerned about catalog corruption that may surface elsewhere, so I'd be shy about trying to repair the current catalog through repeated import attempts. To that end, consider creating a new blank catalog and Import From Catalog, pointing to the now-suspect catalog. When doing this, I have the practice of noting the total number of images in the "donor" catalog, a reconciling that number with the number that Imports into the new blank catalog.
My experience is that corrupt raw files, of which I've seen some number especially from tethered shooting, don't make the trip between catalogs and can also be the cause of the original catalog behavior problems.
There are other ways of accomplishing the same New Catalog creation; this just happens to be the method I most use.
You don't mention the number of images in your original catalog. That plays a role in how much time this will require.
