With repair of a large rotator cuff tear with tendon-bone tunnels, early passive range of motion exercises are initiated to prevent adhesive capsulitis. Active range of motion exercises should be initiated no earlier than 6 weeks postoperatively. Craig et al. looked at open versus mini-open repairs for full thickness tears. They found that mini-open approaches lead to smaller incisions, a less involved recovery, and allows an intra-articular evaluation and management of pathology within the glenohumeral joint with the arthroscope that is used in the beginning of the case.
