Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are common in the elderly. The evaluation and
management of these injuries is often controversial. The purpose of this study is to review …

Greater tuberosity fractures of the humerus can be successfully treated nonsurgically in most
patients. However, as little as 3 to 5 mm of superior greater tuberosity displacement may …

Anterior traumatic shoulder instability can be defined as excessive anterior translation of the
humeral head on the glenoid fossa caused primarily by a traumatic event. This results in …

Although proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 5% of all fractures and many
involve the tuberosities, isolated greater tuberosity fractures are less common and only …

As isolated fractures of the greater tuberosity present a therapeutic challenge, we
systematically reviewed all studies of greater tuberosity fracture management. Inclusion …

Abstract Purpose of Review Proximal humerus fracture dislocations typically result from high-
energy mechanisms and carry specific risks, technical challenges, and management …

Aims The outcomes following nonoperative management of minimally displaced greater
tuberosity (GT) fractures, and the factors which influence patient experience, remain poorly …

Purpose: Minimally displaced pediatric proximal humerus fractures can be reliably managed
non-operatively; however, there is considerable debate regarding the appropriate …

Background This study analyzed the indications for conservative management of isolated
greater tuberosity (GT) fractures. The rate of secondary interventions for failed conservative …

Proximal Humerus fractures are increasingly common, comprising 4–5% of all fractures. 1
They are the third most common type of fracture in the elderly, affecting 250 in every 100000 …
