A member asked:
I have ligamentous-laxity i had my mpfl reconstructed in my knee now my shoulder keeps dislocating do i need a similar surgery or is there another way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try therapy first: With ligamentous laxity, i would recommend a program of physical therapy before consideriing surgery. Go see an orthopedist for an evalutation. If there are anatomic injuries secondary to previous dislocations, then therapy may not be effective. This includes a barkart tear or a hill-sachs lesion.
