Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Dislocation

I injured my shoulder multiple times while playing football this past season. It was my senior season, so I continued to play without seeing a doctor. After the season ended, I got an MRI and it showed that I had a partial posterior dislocation,with damage to both my labrum and glenoid cavity (maybe partially torn). I am in the process of scheduling an appointment with a specialist, but I was wondering what you could tell me as far as the possiblity of and the estimated recovery time for this type of injury. - Thanks, Ben

Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need arthroscopic repair for bony bankart lesion.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS ,or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.

Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.
It may take 4 to 6 weeks to recover after surgery.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
Regards
