The questionnaire comprised statements paired with a 7-point scale, ranging from 0 (do not agree) to 6 (completely agree), therefore respondents marking 0–2 would be disagreeing, and those marking 4–6 would be agreeing with that statement. 97/109 (90%) respondents agreed the patient could continue to live normally, 38 (35%) would say the scan is essentially normal and 51 (47%) would not. 21/109 (19%) would say the scan is significantly abnormal and were likely to give restrictive movement advice (13/21 v 26/88: p=0.01). Clinicians who advise against painful movements were likely to seek a surgical opinion (19/32 v 13/77: p<
0.0001)
