Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We expect to observe an improvement in shoulder function after bone marrow aspirate injection, as measured by pain and functional scores (Visual Analog Scale, Short Form-12, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in shoulder pain after bone marrow aspirate injection, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale for pain.
