Arthroscopic Reduction and Transosseous Suture Fixation of Avulsed Displaced Shoulder Greater Tuberosity Fracture

Anterior traumatic shoulder dislocation associated with displaced greater tuberosity fracture: the necessity of operative treatment.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcome, including the incidence of recurrence, in patients with displaced greater tuberosity (GT) fractures associated with a traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University Hospital (Level 1 trauma center). PATIENTS There were 34 completely evaluated patients (19 male, 15 female) seen between 199...

Long-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...

Transosseous 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...

Irreducible Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Associated With Displaced Fracture of the Greater Tuberosity: An Analysis of Seven Cases

Background: Although anterior shoulder dislocation is the most prevalent type of body dislocation, irreducible anterior shoulder dislocation is seldom reported in the literature, which is usually due to physical obstacles. Objectives: This study presents our findings regarding the causes of irreducibility of anterior shoulder dislocation associated with displaced fracture of the greater tuberos...
