Isolated 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 کاملQuantitative 3-dimensional Computerized Tomography Modeling of Isolated Greater Tuberosity Fractures with and without Shoulder Dislocation
Background: The aim of this study was to assess differences in fracture morphology and displacement betweenisolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures (i.e. fractures of the greater tuberosity without other fractures of the proximalhumerus) with and without shoulder dislocation utilizing quantitative 3-dimensional CT imaging.Methods: Thirty-four CT-scans of isolated greater tuberosity fractures ...
متن کاملFollow-up radiographs to detect callus formation after fractures.
Follow-up radiographs are important to assess proper alignment and adequate healing of a fracture. The formation of a callus is one characteristic used to follow these features, but the timing and size of its appearance is variable. Therefore, when to expect to see a callus on radiographs requires a general understanding of the fracture healing process and the many variables that can affect cal...
متن کاملTreatment of Shoulder Dislocation with Greater Tuberosity and Glenoid Fractures.
Large glenoid fractures are relatively uncommon with shoulder dislocation. Simultaneous glenoid and greater tuberosity fractures with anterior shoulder dislocation are very rare. We report on a 48-year right-handed male who sustained a fall during skiing. He had anterior shoulder dislocation combined with large glenoid fracture and greater tuberosity fracture. He was treated surgically with fix...
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...
