The patient needs restrictions on his external rotation to allow healing of the subscapularis tendon repair. Limitation to 60 degrees is common if the tendon repair is robust and shows no evidence of tension on range-of-motion testing during the surgery. Restriction from external rotation stretching for even 3 weeks would compromise his ultimate functional recovery. Boardman et al. Matsen et al.
