Can anyone tell me how long it would take to heal a dislocated shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dislocated shoulder: After a shoulder dislocation the ligaments take an average of 6 weeks to heal. Then there is rehab to strengthen the shoulder which can take another 4-6 weeks. If there is continued episodes of dislocation then surgery may be indicated.
