Do I need surgery for this?
I fell on my shoulder 4 weeks ago. Since then the shoulder is painful and is immobilized Went for MRI scan. The MRI Report says: "Anterosuperior labral tear with small 0.2 x 0.5 cm (Transverse by carniocaudal) suspicious laberal flap noted in humeral joint space. Small adjacent 0.3 cm anterosuperior parabral cyst. Mild posterosuperior labral fraying. The labram otherwise articular cartilage are intact."
So my question is, Do I need surgery for this? Will Physiotherapy excercies alone work?

Seeing the mri films will be helpful for making decisions regarding any need for surgery.
Usually it depends on your current symptoms and how much pain relief you have.
It is not an emergency surgery, so u can give a trial of physiotherapy which can help reduce the pain. If it doesnt reduce with physiotherapy then you might have to consider surgery.
If you are a sports person then surgery will be helpful for u.
