Additional cuff suture provides mechanical advantage for fixation of split-type greater tuberosity fracture of humerus
2022, InjuryCitation Excerpt :The incidence of greater tuberosity is 14 – 20 % of all proximal humeral fracture. It is usually found in young patients with high-energy trauma and in elderly or osteoporotic patients with low-energy trauma [1–3]. It has been classified into three types (split, avulsion, and depression).

2021, Skeletal Trauma: A Mechanism-Based Approach of ImagingOutcomes of surgical fixation of greater tuberosity fractures: A systematic review
2020, Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and ResearchCitation Excerpt :Isolated greater tuberosity fracture is an injury that is primarily seen as a result of either impaction on the acromion, impaction on the glenoid during dislocation, or avulsion and shearing. Accounting for up to 20% of all proximal humeral fractures [1–3], these injuries present as acute shoulder pain with reduced range of motion and are typically diagnosed via standard radiographs. While the vast majority of greater tuberosity fractures are minimally or non-displaced and can be treated without surgery [4,5], there remains debate as to the degree of displacement that indicates surgical treatment [4,6,7].

2014, Orthopedic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Paavolainen and colleagues39 reported good results in 6 patients treated with screw fixation for an isolated greater tuberosity fracture. In a retrospective review Chun and colleagues40 reported results of 24 isolated greater tuberosity fractures included in a series of 141 2-part proximal humerus fractures. Ten of the 24 were treated with ORIF, 8 of which were fixed with screws.
