Brief Answer:
Hello. Surgery is definitely indicated here
Detailed Answer:
Hello. While physical therapy should first be tried, unless you are in no way athletic and in no need of a fully functioning shoulder, the only way to restore that full function in this case would be surgery.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

Sorry i do not understand the detailed answer. Maybe is because English is not my first language. Can you please explain again in a more detailed and concise manner.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Brief Answer:
You need surgery
Detailed Answer:
Sorry.
Physical therapy is what I would first offer you, that means a no surgery therapy. However you may have limited movement and function if you use it a lot. If you have a severe physical job you'd need surgery repair to give you a fully functioning shoulder for stressful physical jobs.
Hope I am understandable.
