At what point is shoulder surgery recommended. (unstable shoulder)
-
It depends on whether it was an acute injury, or you have a history of unstable shoulder without an acute trauma. If it was an acute injury (dislocated your shoulder playing sports), treatment is often surgery followed by physical therapy.
If you have a history of an unstable shoulder, especially if you have a history of being very flexible with loose joints, the therapy is physical therapy, physical therapy, and more physical therapy.
