Functional Performance Primary · 10 years

Constant \& Murley Score. This evaluates clinical parameters such as range of motion, power, level of pain and functional ability. The score ranges from 0 - 100 with a higher score representing a better outcome.

Inverse / Reverse Shoulder57.9± 15.8
Survival (Kaplan-Meier) Secondary · 10 years

The Kaplan-Meier estimator is a non-parametric statistic used to estimate the survival function from lifetime data. It is used to measure the fraction of patients living (in this case without a revision surgery) for a certain amount of time after treatment. A higher score is a better outcome.
