What if a patient I am treating crosses over to the other treatment arm (e.g. operative patient does not have surgery or non-operative patient ends up having surgery)?

You will be referred to the site lead physical therapist for a call to discuss the treatment protocol changes. If needed, you can access the appropriate non-op or post-op PT treatment protocol on the study website: shoulderstudy.org/studies/arc-trial/physical-therapists. After the patient finishes physical therapy, you will receive an additional retrospective PT report form, which you will be asked to complete regarding the crossover physical therapy treatment.
