About this study

after being informed about the study and potential risks, all enrolled cases giving informed consent will undergo fixation of their fractured greater tuberosity, then physiotherapy. patients will be followed up till full union, clinical and radiological follow up for at least one year utilizing approved clinical scores and radiological criteria for healing. any complication will be recorded.

Inclusion criteria

Patients presented and admitted at Mansoura Trauma, emergency hospital affiliated to Mansoura university, with acute isolated displaced GT fractures ( more than 5mm displacement), with/without glenohumeral dislocations, with age between 18years to 50 years.

Exclusion criteria

  • Skeletally immature patients (less than 18 years), age more than 50 years.
  • Open and pathological fractures
  • Associated proximal humeral fractures
  • History of previous GH dislocations
  • History of previous shoulder injuries or surgeries

Treatment and study plan

fixation of greater tuberosity fractures

Procedure

deltopectoral approach for shoulder, then open reduction and fixation of displaced greater tuberosity fractures using hooked Kirshner wires

Primary outcomes

  1. functional outcome using American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Standardized Shoulder Assessment score

    Time frame: at least one year follow up

    postoperative assessing pain, range of motion, function of shoulder. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating a worse shoulder condition and 100 indicating a better shoulder condition

Secondary outcomes

  1. healing time

    Time frame: anticipated 2-4 months

    estimate time till radiological healing on follow-up radiographs
