The same rehabilitation protocol was applied to both groups except for MFEMS administration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was checked three times preoperatively, at the brace\u2010weaning period (when the MFEMS treatment was finished), and at 6 months after surgery. The change of deltoid muscle volume from MRI was measured using in\u2010house developed software. Pain visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), shoulder strength ratios and various functional scores were evaluated at each follow\u2010up until 12 months, and the healing failure rate was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      At the brace\u2010weaning period, significantly different deltoid volume changes were observed (0.42% muscle volume decrease in the MFEMS group vs. 10.66% decrease in the control group,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.009). In addition, the strength ratios of the abductor at 3 months (0.70\u2009\u00b1\u20090.15 vs. 0.63\u2009+\u20090.16) were significantly higher in the MFEMS group compared with the control group (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.039).
