Bilateral Anterior Shoulder Dislocation with Symmetrical Greater Tuberosity Fracture following Seizure
INTRODUCTION Majority of bilateral shoulder dislocations are posterior. Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations and bilateral anterior fracture-dislocations are rare and mostly of traumatic origin. We present a rare case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation with symmetrical greater tuberosity fracture following an episode of seizure with an unusual injury mechanism which was...
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 کاملShort Term Outcome of Antenatal Hydronephrosis: A Single Center Experience
Background Fetal hydronephrosis is a common urinary tract anomaly that may result in renal parenchyma damage. Ultrasound is considered a simple, noninvasive procedure to diagnose and track antenatal hydronephrosis. Our aim was to study the clinical course of fetal hydronephrosis in fetuses. Materials and Methods</...
متن کاملOperative treatment of isolated greater tuberosity fractures: retrospective review of clinical and functional outcomes.
Displaced isolated greater tuberosity fractures are rare injuries that require operative treatment to optimize rotator cuff function and prevent painful subacromial impingement. A lack of consensus exists regarding ideal management of these injuries because of the paucity of literature on the subject.The outcomes of 17 patients treated with open (n=15) or arthroscopic (n=2) fixation at the auth...
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...
