Arthroscopic findings of coexisting lesions with greater tuberosity fractures.
Proximal humerus fractures comprise approximately 5% of all fractures, with isolated greater tuberosity fractures accounting for approximately 20% of proximal humerus fractures. Although performing shoulder arthroscopy in situations including a fracture is technically demanding, it allows surgeons the opportunity to identify and treat other coexisting lesions that could have otherwise been miss...
متن کاملArthroscopic treatment for greater tuberosity fractures: rationale and surgical technique.
A description of a new technique for arthroscopic treatment of minimally displaced greater tuberosity fractures of the humerus and associated soft tissue lesions is presented. This kind of fracture is usually treated nonsurgically. However, recent evidence suggests that even a small amount of superior displacement may produce shoulder dysfunction and require a perfect surgical reduction and fix...
متن کاملAO X-shaped midfoot locking plate to treat displaced isolated greater tuberosity fractures.
Although various implants exist for 3- and 4-part fractures, few implants are appropriate for isolated greater tuberosity fractures. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of AO X-shaped midfoot locking plates for greater tuberosity fractures. Between May 2008 and September 2009, nineteen patients with displaced greater tuberosity fractures were treated with open reduction and internal...
متن کاملArthroscopic grafting of greater tuberosity cyst and rotator cuff repair.
Cysts of the greater tuberosity can be a normal finding independent of age and concurrent rotator cuff tear. The presence of a large greater tuberosity cyst can present a challenge at the time of rotator cuff repair. We present a 1-step arthroscopic technique to address these defects at the time of rotator cuff repair using a synthetic graft (OsteoBiologics, San Antonio, TX) originally designed...
متن کاملLong-term Results, Functional Outcomes and Complications after Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Neglected and Displaced Greater Tuberosity of Humerus Fractures
Background: Humerus fractures include 5% to 8% of total fractures. Non-union and delayed union of GT (GT) fractures is uncommon; however they present a challenge to the orthopedic surgeons. Significant controversy surrounds optimal treatment of neglected fractures. The purpose of this article was to perform a comparative study to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixatio...
