Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparative clinical functional assessment by the UCLA scale of patients operated on in both study groups. (0-35 pontos) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparative clinical functional assessment by the ASES scale of patients operated on in both study groups. (0-100 points);Comparative clinical functional assessment by the EVA of patients operated on in both study groups. (0-10 points);Comparative clinical evaluation by the range of active shoulder movement (frontal flexion, lateral rotation and medial rotation) of patients operated on in both study groups. (frontal flexion = 0-180 degrees measured with a goniometer); (lateral rotation = 0-90 degrees measured with a goniometer); (medial rotation = 0-10 points according to the reach of the hand in the dorsal region of the chest);Comparative clinical evaluation of the frontal flexion strength of the operated shoulder using a dynamometer of operated patients in both study groups. (average of 3 consecutive strength measurements = measured in kilograms);Comparative clinical evaluation of the occurrence of complications in operated patients in both study groups.;Comparative clinical functional assessment by the CONSTANT scale of patients operated on in both study groups. (0-100 points);Comparative radiological evaluation by analyzing the MRI scan of the shoulder of operated patients in both study groups.
