<qa>  What is the difference between Surgical and non-surgical options?Traditionally, the combination of 1 history and physical exam performed by the provider, 2 clinical and diagnostic tools to assess the extent of injury and impact on physical activity, and 3 patient-voiced preference has guided the selection of an optimal solution for an individual patient. When providing a recommendation to individual patients and their unique circumstances, the health care provider may gather patient preferences on factors such as desire to avoid pain, chance of recurrent shoulder dislocation, time needed for rehabilitation and physical therapy, and operative versus non-operative costs. Surgical and non-surgical options have distinct differences in these outcomes. When combined, the interaction between these variables creates important tradeoffs of risks and benefits for each option.
