Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual analog scale	Visual analog scale will be rated by surgeon. While 0 is the worst score with no clear vision, 10 was noted as the best score for visual clarity.	through study completion, an average of 2 year
Secondary	total operating time	period in minutes from the time the arthroscope was inserted into the glenohumeral joint until the termination of the arthroscopic procedure	through study completion, an average of 2 year
Secondary	average mean arterial pressure	mean arterial pressure per operation.	through study completion, an average of 2 year
