  1. We divided these 60 patients in 48 patients with a mid-term (MT-Fup; 24-50 months) and 12 patients with a long-term follow-up (LT-Fup; 60-96 months). Infraglenoidal scapular notching was divided in "grade 0" for "no notch", "grade 1" for "small notch", "grade 2" for "notch with condensation", "grade 3" for "erosion up to the inferior screw", and "grade 4" for "erosion over the inferior screw with extension under the base plate"
  2. * These percentages are calculated using the sum of four measurements in total (twice by two examiners).
