Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) | 1 year | Patient reported outcome. Score from 0 to 48 points (with the higher score being the better) |
| Quick Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score | 1 year | The questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms ranging from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability) |
| Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) | 1 year | The subjective shoulder value is defined as a patient's subjective shoulder assessment expressed as a percentage of an entirely normal shoulder during ADLs (from 0% to 100%, with the higher score being the better) |
| Radiographic outcomes | 1 year | Shoulder x-rays will be reviewed by a panel of experts in shoulder traumatology who will be asked to define the result as: * normal * nonunion * malunion * avascular necrosis * infection |
