Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patients with device related adverse events as a measure of safety | 24 months | All adverse events will be summarized by the number and percentage of patients with each type of event. The following will be summarized separately: procedure related adverse events, device related adverse events, anticipated adverse events. Additionally, the incidence of serious device associated adverse events will be summarized. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the Range of Motions (ROM) as a measure of effectiveness | 24 months | Changes in ROM variables from the pre-implant visit to each follow-up visit will be calculated and sumarized until 24-month visit. |
| Change in the Constant Score as a measure of effectiveness | 24 months | Changes in the Constant Score from the pre-implant visit to each follow-up visits will be calculated and summarized until 24-month visit. |
| Change in the DASH Score as a measure of improvement in the patients' Quality of Life | 24 months | Changes in the DASH Score from the pre-implant visit to each follow-up visits will be calculated and summarised until 24-month visit. |
| Change in humeral cortical thickness as an evaluation of Stress Shielding | 24 months | Changes in humeral cortical thickness from the pre-implant to 24-month visit will be mesured according to the modified method of Tingart & Al. |
