As a primary outcome, we will evaluate functional outcomes using the disease-specific Rowe score [Secondary outcomes include pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) which is a widely used single-item test where a patient rates pain intensity between 0 and 10. The single assessment numeric evaluation (SANE) for instability [Secondary outcomes also include radiological criteria evaluated on X-rays and computed tomography (CT) at 6 months for bony union. The bony union will be assessed using the classification proposed by Hovelius et al. differentiating between union (absence of a radiolucent line), fibrous union (radiolucent line of 5 mm or less), and non-union (radiolucent line of more than 5 mm) [Bone graft characteristics, including lateral and medial overhang and graft height, will be assessed according to the method described by Kraus et al. and Ernstbrunner et al. [All complications (including recurrent shoulder dislocation, hematoma, and infection will also be collected) and the aforementioned subjective and clinical scores will be recorded before surgery and at 1.5, 6, and 12 months postoperative.Following clinical parameters will be collected at the beginning of the study: age, gender, working compensation status (office/mild load/full load), sports activity soliciting shoulders: none, light (< = 4 h/week), intensive (> 4 h/week), hand dominance.
