Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) - Physical Function Short Form
The PROMIS Physical Function Short Form uses T-scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10), where higher scores indicate better physical function. Responses use a Likert scale: 1 = "Unable to do," 2 = "With much difficulty," 3 = "With some difficulty," 4 = "With a little difficulty," 5 = "Without any difficulty." Raw scores are summed and converted to T-scores. 50 = average function, 60 = 1 SD above (better), 40 = 1 SD below (worse).
Time frame: Preop, 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months
Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE)
The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) is a simple, one-question patient-reported outcome measure. A SANE score requires the patient to rate their knee function on a scale of 0 to 100% with 100% being normal.
Time frame: Preop, 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months
Visual Analogue Scale
Patient Reported Outcome Measure - pain Scale: 0-10. 0 being no pain and 10 being unbearable pain
Time frame: Preop, 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months
PROMIS - Pain Interference
The PROMIS Pain Interference Short Form uses T-scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10), where higher scores indicate greater pain interference. Responses use a Likert scale: 1 = "Not at all," 2 = "A little bit," 3 = "Somewhat," 4 = "Quite a bit," 5 = "Very much." Raw scores are summed and converted to T-scores. 50 = average pain interference, 60 = 1 SD above (worse), 40 = 1 SD below (better).
Time frame: Preop, 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Shoulder
MRI of the shoulder of the first 5 patients in each group will be obtained at 2 weeks post-op for evaluation of bone marrow lesion in the proximal humerus. Bone marrow lesion size measured in mm2 on a calibrated MR image from 0 (no lesion, better) to 180 (large lesion, worse)
