Measurement of changes in the surface area of the graft. Computed tomography scans were taken immediately postoperatively (a) and at the last follow-up (b). In the most superior and most inferior slices, respectively, the shape of the superior and inferior sides of the coracoid process graft was traced to measure their area. The rate of change in bone area was calculated for each side. The overall change in bone area was also calculated (i.e., averaged for the superior and inferior sides)
