Abstract

Background and AimsFixation is the treatment of choice for displaced greater tuberosity avulsion fractures of the proximal humerus. Although open reduction has been the traditional method for internal fixation, recent case reports of arthroscopic greater tuberosity fracture fixation have described promising results. There is, however, insufficient evidence that the arthroscopic procedure consistently results in reliable fixation, radiographic healing, and satisfactory surgical outcomes. This prospective case series was designed to determine whether arthroscopic double-row suture bridge repair for displaced greater tuberosity avulsion fractures provided high fixation strength with minimal gap formation, repair integrity maintenance till ultimate radiographic healing, and satisfactory clinical outcomes.
