Only you and your surgeon can ultimately decide what is best for you. However, the re-dislocation rate is very very high for patients that have a traumatic dislocation at your age. In some studies the re-dislcation rate is as high as 85%! As a result I often find it best to reconstruct patients shoulders after a first traumatic dislocation before any further damage happens in a subsequent injury that may make surgery results worse. Good luck with it...Don

Douse any one know how much the surgary cost

@titansdangler71 just get the surgery because dislocations happen wen a ligament fails to hold the joint. once it comes out you have to deal with repeated dislocations. mine came out i thought i was fine in about 2 weeks comes out 4 more times

i dislocated my shoulder about a month and a half ago. i got an mri a day ago and i have a torn labrum. i can move my shoulder fine in every position, i was wondering in surgery would be the way to go or just keep doing physical therapy, i just want opinions. im 16 btw and play sports

im in great trouble because i'll need a lot of rest and be away from sports for quiet long. External rotation of my arm is almost impossible as well as the chances of dislocating are much higher. not a good sign and same i am worried that physio would just be a waste of time for me.

@hhouns why are you in great trouble? sucks that they couldn't diagnosis it sooner for us because physio therapy might be useless for me

@590221010 thats exactly what happened 2 me i never knew it was dislocated because it used to go back in by itself (partial dislocation) n arm would look fine in Xray. Now i have had 2 full dislocations and in a great trouble. i got physio next week n hope it goes well. i regret the fact that i never knew what actually happened to my arm until it got worse and worse. And the doctor stills tells me I cant have a surgery until i dislocate it again many times.

@590221010 i had the same problem. and offcourse its got damaged. thats why you need the surgery! just do it. its all worth it in the end. otherwise your shoulder gets weaker and weaker. because the younger you are. the change of a dislocation is 80 to 90 procent. and after a surgery it is 8 a 10 procent. and because where still young. We recover alot faster then most people. Dont wait to long Just do it;)

@590221010 and back then i didn't know any proper methods of putting my shoulder back in so i used to just bend over and let my arm hang which apparently is REALLY bad for it according to a doctor who posted a vid of him putting a shoulder back in. the last few times i've gotten shoulder dislocated after finding out the proper procedure i didn't use the sling the hospital gave me either because i thought it's fine without it... but now i'm worried that could've damaged it a lot too
