Key result
Symptomatic individuals requiring shoulder surgery had a significantly higher mean Oxford Shoulder Score than asymptomatic volunteers (36.7 vs 15.3; p<0.0001), though ranges overlapped substantially.

Substantial OSS overlap limits diagnostic specificity; supports normative baselines for gauging severity in shoulder research.

Establishing the range of the Oxford Shoulder Score in asymptomatic individuals provides a baseline to better gauge disease severity and forecast post-operative improvements.
Younis et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Shoulder pathology (n=200). Symptomatic shoulder pathology requiring surgery vs. Asymptomatic volunteers was evaluated on Mean Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) (p=<0.0001). Symptomatic individuals requiring shoulder surgery had a significantly higher mean Oxford Shoulder Score than asymptomatic volunteers (36.7 vs 15.3; p<0.0001), though ranges overlapped substantially.
