Yes if you follow: Your doctors advise , most likely you are immobilized in a sling for 4 to 6 wks , that allows the ' tare ' in the capsule to heal completely , required physical therapy to regain the strength and integrity to normal state . Then your doctor permits you , once dislocated will have higher incidence of dislocation than those who did not.
