Experimental: BMC2012 + beta-TCP Chronos® Synthes
The large bone defect will be bridged as per clinical standard, filled with a clinically established scaffold (beta-TCP Chronos® Synthes), and loaded with 1.3 x 10E6 BMC/ml TCP per 1 ml beta-TCP in situ.

- Secondary dislocation of fracture [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Secondary dislocation is diagnosed on plain radiographs, if more than 20° varus collapse of the humeral head fragment in relation to the humeral shaft and / or screw penetration through the humeral head is detected
- Functional outcome after fixation [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Functional outcome after fixation will be recorded by the Dash-Score at week 12; assessment of safety: all adverse reactions will be recorded and analyzed.
