Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Boldface P values indicate statistically significant differences between groups (P < .05). ADL, Activities of Daily Living; postop, postoperatively; ROM, range of motion; SSV, Subjective Shoulder Value.
b
Improvement in score from preoperatively to 12 months postoperatively.
c
Adjusted for age and sex.
