The angle of upper arm was measured intraoperatively. The patient's postoperative shoulder function was quantified using the Constant-Murley shoulder function rating score. The proportional hazards model was applied to identify multiple influence factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 140 eligible patients met criteria. At postoperative day 3, only the age influenced patients' shoulder pain. At postoperative day 14, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.098 [1.046-1.152]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) and upper arm Angle A (OR: 1.064 [1.011-1.121]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.018) were independent risk factors for low shoulder function scores. However, height was its protective factor (OR: 0.923 [0.871-0.977]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.006). At postoperative day 42, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age (OR: 1.079 [1.036-1.124]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) was a risk factor for low shoulder function scores, and height (OR: 0.933 [0.886-0.983]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.009) was its protective factor. In contrast, upper arm Angle B was not statistically associated with low shoulder function scores (P&amp;gt;0.05). In addition, the reduction in ipsilateral Shoulder scores after surgery was higher in patients with more than 113\u00b0 of angle A (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.025).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>ISP was closely related to the angle of anterior flexion of the upper arm on the patient's operative side intraoperatively. The increase in the degree of postoperative shoulder injury is more pronounced for an anterior flexion angle of &amp;gt;113\u00b0. Therefore, we recommend that the angle of anterior flexion of the upper extremity should be &amp;lt;113\u00b0
