Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The main parameter of this study will be the difference in pain between the patients receiving an abduction brace and patients receiving a sling. This will be measured once preoperatively, eight times in the first 48 hours postoperatively, twice a day in the remaining first week and then weekly up to three months. The participants will fill in the VAS score on a 10 cm wide horizontal scale.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary parameters are the Constant, ASES (only ROM part), WORC and EQ-5D score. Intra-operatively the orthopaedic surgeon will classify the size of the cuff tear according to the classification systems described by Thomazeau (stage 1-5) and by Boileau (A-F).
