How effective is physical theropy after a shoulder dislocation.. i have a lebral tear and i want to play overhead sports later?

It can be effective.: Assuming you had an anterior dislocation, you probably have a 50 to 80% chance of redislocation your shoulder even with rehab. So, if you have a second dislocation despite rehabilitation i would seriously consider arthroscopic labral tear repair.

Depends: Recurrent dislocation rate with bankart tear is high (85% in military cadets). Surgery is increasingly recommended to repair even after only 1 dislocation. Pt doesn't put the labrum back in the right spot and get it to heal there. It either heals to the right spot or it doesn't. If not, recurrent dislocation.
