| Variable | Preoperative, n=11 | 3 Months, n=11 | 6 Months, n=9 | 1 Year, n=5 |
| Forward elevation, degrees | 145.0 ± 37.2 | 153.0 ± 33.2 | 166.7 ± 9.4 | 169.0 ± 7.3 |
| External rotation, degrees | 37.8 ± 10.8 | 44.4 ± 10.1 | 45.0 ± 2.4 | 46.0 ± 2.0 |
| Internal rotationa | L3 | L2 | L1 | L1 |
↵aInternal rotation is measured by the maximal vertebral level reached by the patient's thumb.
