Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change of Constant Murley Score	up to 24 weeks	Timepoints: Before surgery; 6, 12, 24 weeks after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change of DASH Score	up to 24 weeks	Timepoints Before surgery; 6, 12, 24 weeks after surgery
Change of Active range of Motion (Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Internal Rotation, External Rotation)	up to 24 weeks	Timepoints: Before surgery; 6, 12, 24 weeks after surgery; Range of movement is measured by handheld goniometer
Change of Pain (max; average; rest)	up to 24 weeks	Timepoints: Before surgery; 6, 12, 24 weeks after surgery; Pain is measured by Visual Analogue Scale (0-100mm)
Change of Strength (abduction; external Rotation)	up to 24 weeks	Timepoints: Before surgery; 6, 12, 24 weeks after surgery; Measurement of Strength is evaluated using a BTE Simulator II Dynamometer (Peak torque in N).
