Arthroscopic Posterior Glenoid Fracture Fixation Using Knotless Suture Anchors
Shoulder instability after a posterior glenoid rim fracture is rare and potentially difficult pathology to treat. Operative techniques often involve a large dissection to view the fragments resulting in local soft tissue injury. Internal fixation is often achieved with interfragmentary screws; however, this may not be possible with small or multifragmentary fracture patterns. We describe an art...
متن کاملSingle versus double row suture anchor fixation for greater tuberosity fractures – a biomechanical study
BACKGROUND Fractures of the humeral greater tuberosity (GT) are a frequent injury progressively treated with arthroscopic suture anchor repair. Yet, no biomechanical study has been performed comparing fixation strength of arthroscopic single- (SR) vs. double row (DR) fixation. METHODS Standardized fractures of the greater tuberosity were created in 12 fresh frozen proximal humeri. After rando...
متن کاملArthroscopic Tuberoplasty for a Malunited Greater Tuberosity Fracture: A Case Report.
Superior migration and malunion of a fractured greater tuberosity can lead to mechanical subacromial impingement with resultant ongoing pain and limitation of abduction. We describe such a case successfully treated with arthroscopic excision of the protruding portion of the greater tuberosity, with marked improvement in pain and range of movement. The greater tuberosity was exposed by elevating...
متن کاملFixation of the greater tuberosity in proximal humeral fractures: FiberWire® or wire cerclage?
Proximal humeral fractures remain a surgical challenge, and scientific discussions are commonly focused on their ideal treatment. One possible treatment involves the use of an angle stable plate osteosynthesis. However, which material can most feasibly be used to attach the greater tuberosity to the implant remains unknown. In two prospective, non-randomized trials, we compared the results of a...
متن کاملTransosseous suture fixation of proximal humeral fractures.
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of displaced fractures of the proximal part of the humerus remains controversial. We evaluated the long-term functional and radiographic results of transosseous suture fixation in a series of selected displaced fractures of the proximal part of the humerus. METHODS Over an eleven-year period, a consecutive series of 188 patients with a specifically defined dis...
