FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Will my shoulder dislocate again?

Without surgery, recurrence rates are high in young patients (80-90% under age 20, 50-60% ages 20-30). Surgery significantly reduces recurrence to less than 10%.

When can I return to sports after shoulder stabilization?

Contact sports typically at 4-6 months. Non-contact sports earlier at 3-4 months. Return depends on achieving strength and stability goals.
