“…A parachute suture technique has been proposed for complicated fracture patterns, such as split, comminuted, or multi-fragmentary fracture patterns frequently treated with open reduction and internal fixation [34]. In this parachute arthroscopic procedure, four inverted horizontal knotless mattress sutures are combined with two reinforcing knotted mattress sutures for fracture fixation [35].…”

Throughout this chapter, we will discuss the treatment of greater tuberosity fractures of the proximal humerus. Greater tuberosity fractures are common, and an increase is expected due to population aging. We can address these fractures in different ways to restore the anatomy and function of the patient, but surgery is usually selected for displaced fractures. The surgical approach remains unclear, and few data can guide surgeons in choosing one technique or another. We will discuss open versus less invasive and arthroscopic repair techniques for fractures of the greater tuberosity of the humerus, and we will try to underline the advantages and cons of each method and describe the evidence around each surgical technique. We will also include some tips and tricks that may be helpful to orthopedic surgeons to achieve an optimal outcome.
