Fracture-Avulsion of the Greater Tuberosity: Arthroscopic Transosseous Augmented Technique

The fracture-avulsion of the greater tuberosity represents the 2% of all humerus fracture, but the true incidence is likelyto be higher, being challenging the initial diagnosis on X-ray. The fracture-avulsion of the greater tuberosity could havedifferent treatment: Non-displaced or minimal displaced fractures are treated conservatively, while for the displaced orcomminuted ones the surgical treatment is preferred. The most important finding of this study is the employment of anall arthroscopic transosseous augmented technique for the treatment of a displaced humeral greater tuberosity fracture-avulsion. This technique showed all its advantages due to the transosseous fixation and arthroscopic approach.
