He had the best in the world doing the repair so I am guessing it was done correctly) he shouldn't have to worry about it separating again. If it does, the separation would be the least of his worries-he would have sustained a massive injury-very, very unlikey. The man should be fine, shoulder wise.

Honestly, this makes me feel a lot better about it. Still don't like the selection process, but at least now I'm not as worried about the damaged goods factor. You could've led with, "I talked to orthopedic doctors about it and this is what they said," that made your point a lot stronger.
