I dislocated my right shoulder on 22 july. It was my first shoulder dislocation. After closed reduction I was advice to keep it in a sling for 3 weeks. Now I'm doing physiotherapy that includes some rotator cuff exercises. My question is will my shoulder dislocate again? Do I need to undergo shoulder surgery to prevent further dislocation?
