Arthroscopic 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 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 کاملIsolated fractures of the greater tuberosity of the proximal humerus
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnosis and treatment of isolated greater tuberosity fractures of the proximal humerus is not clear-cut. We retrospectively assessed the clinical and radiographic outcome of isolated greater tuberosity fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS 30 patients (mean age 58 (26-85) years, 19 women) with 30 closed isolated greater tuberosity fractures were reassessed after an aver...
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 کاملArthroscopic 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...
