What is Non-operative treatment linked with?
1Studies link Non-operative treatment with 1 measure, most often internal rotation range of motion (1 study).

Non-operative treatment is associated with internal rotation range of motion in humans.
“only internal rotation range of motion was observed to significantly decrease (p < 0.001).”
