hey guys I am just wondering if you can fully recover from a bankart leison. i tore my labrum during rugby last year and I am 16 years old at the moment. i really want to continue my rugby career but i can't as it dislocates all the time so do you think if i get surgery to repair it i will be back to normal or not? I am really confused about it all and I am also seeing my doc soon, but let me know if any of you guys had a full recovery from this type of problem
