Abstract
pain scores, PROMIS Pain Interference and Global Health scores. Shoulder range of motion (ROM), including forward elevation (FE), abduction, internal and external rotation (IR, ER), was measured using a goniometer. Outcome measures were collected preoperatively and at postoperative visits at 2 and 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months, 1 and 2 years. Statistical analysis was performed with an “intent-to-treat.” Descriptive statistics were used for characteristic data. Independent t-test and chi square analysis were performed. Repeated measures generalized linear models were used to track changes in outcome measures over time. Statistical significance is set at p < 0.05. Final statistical analyses are pending study completion.
