A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptomatic?: Sorry but cannot tell u the answer w/out knowing more of your history . If you play sports and fell on the front of your shoulder or your shoulder dislocated posteriorly... Or you play raquet sports and have pain, catching etc. U may require arthroscopic repair. If not, and 'picked up' by MRI for other reasons and doesn't correlate w/ history and exam, probably not.See ors/ shoulder/surg.For exam.
