Figure 2 Multiple linear regression graph showing the difference of internal rotation and extension between month 0 and 12 [IRE Δ(0-12)], pain duration, and groups according to injection number. Dotted line represents single-injection group [injection number 1, IRE Δ(0-12) = 31.36 + (−1.40) × pain duration]. Solid line represents double- or triple-injection group (injection number 2 or 3, IRE Δ(0-12) = 41.98 + (−2.67) × pain duration). IRE Δ(0-12) is greater when the pain duration is shorter, although the decrease in the IRE Δ(0-12) differs depending on the number of injections.
