When does someone absolutely need to have shoulder surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An infection: If you develop a shoulder infection you need to have it drained and the best way if surgical arthroscopy. If you have recurrent shoulder dislocations or a symptomatic rotator cuff tear and you are under sixty you should highly consider having surgery.
