Four suture anchors were set at the ischial tuberosity, and the avulsed fragment was repositioned and fixed using the suture bridge technique. At 1 year postoperatively, the avulsion fracture was bony fused, and he had returned to his preinjury competitive level. Use of multiple suture anchors ...
Simultaneous arthroscopic treatment of displaced greater tuberosity and glenoid fracture using a double-row technique A rare case with concomitant fracture of the greater tuberosity and a bony Bankart lesion is described. Bioabsorbable suture anchors are used to reduce and... N Pujol,O Fong,S Schary...
Fracture sites occur at 4 predictable cleavage lines including the greater tuberosity, lesser tuberosity, humeral head, and humeral shaft. Sports-related humeral shaft fractures occur frequently in adolescent baseball pitchers because of the increased torque on the humerus during high-velocity pitches. ...
The rarity of bony avulsion of the ischial tuberosity (BAIT) can pose technical challenges for surgeons, and details of the surgical technique have not yet been presented. The mostly addressed operative indication is greater than 2 cm displacement. Operative treatment of displaced avulsions yields be...
First, we determined the optimal clavicular tunnel placements on top of the clavicle according to the cadaver study13. The trapezoid and conoid ligaments arise from the trapezoid and conoid tuberosity beneath the clavicle, respectively19. The trapezoid tubercle is positioned in the middle of the post...

In reverse arthroplasty group, we measured a mean Constant of 56.2 pt, ASES 69.3 pt, and DASH score 40.4, with an average strength of 4.3 lb in abduction and of 3.3 lb in ER1 and 3.2 lb in ER2. Radiographically, it is interesting to observe that greater tuberosity healing rate was ...
CASE PRESENTATION: As the player (a footballer playing in central defense) kicked a ball, they suffered an acute tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture while planting their left leg. OUTCOME AND FOLLOW-UP: The player underwent open reduction and internal fixation surgery to stabili...
Prosthesis positioning is the key to greater tuberosity healing to the shaft and should be more accurate but is difficult because of the absence of proximal anatomical landmarks in three-and four-part fractures. The Aequalis fracture jig, a new device allowing for more accurate positioning of ...
Methods: Between September 2006 and June 2008, a total of 173 patients with an acute anterior shoulder dis- location (with or without a fracture of the greater tuberosity) were enrolled in the study. One hundred and fifty-four patients, who met all inclusion criteria, were randomly assigned ...
