Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter is the functional outcome, measured using the Constant-Murley score (including a patient questionnaire and measurements of Range of Motion and muscular strength). This will be measured pre-operatively and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-operatively as well as 5 and 10 years post-operatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Furthermore, pain (NRS-score), function (Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire) and quality of life (SF12) will be measured and X-rays will be taken to evaluate possible (re)tears. All parameters will be measured pre-operatively and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-operatively, as well as 5 and 10 years post-operatively. Only the radiographs at 3 months will not discarded, since an X-ray is already taken directly post-opeartive, conform standard care.
