The proportion of respondents who would allow activity without restriction is plotted for the different acromioclavicular injury severity levels (increasing
severity from Example 1 to 6) described in clinical vignettes.10 The solid line presents the results for the base case when the athlete is an American football
linebacker. The dashed line presents the results when we decreased the likelihood of excessive stress by considering the player to be a field goal kicker
instead of a linebacker (tissue stresses). The dotted line presents the results when the linebacker (base case) was being evaluated for a multi-million dollar
bonus (risk tolerance modifiers)9
