Arthroscopy-Assisted Reduction-Internal Fixation in Greater and Lesser Humeral Tuberosity Fracture

Traumatic Inferior Glenohumeral Dislocation Associated With Rotator Cuff Avulsion Fracture: Arthroscopic-Assisted Fixation: A Technical Note

“…In that study, they compared the double-row suture bridge technique and the arthroscopic implantation of suture anchors with open reduction and internal fixation using a proximal humeral locking plate via the deltopectoral approach. 4 They found that both techniques were effective for fracture healing, and both groups had few complications. 5 However, the arthroscopic-assisted technique group had superior results regarding shoulder flexion and abduction postoperatively and required less time in the operating room.…”

“…Over the last 2 decades, there have been many advancements in managing displaced rotator cuff avulsion fractures. 4 The advantages of performing arthroscopyassisted techniques are direct visualization, low infection risk, superior intraarticular fracture reduction, fixation accuracy, and potentially improved clinical outcomes (Table 2). 4,5 Several studies reported the surgical indications for rotator cuff avulsion fractures.…”

“…4 The advantages of performing arthroscopyassisted techniques are direct visualization, low infection risk, superior intraarticular fracture reduction, fixation accuracy, and potentially improved clinical outcomes (Table 2). 4,5 Several studies reported the surgical indications for rotator cuff avulsion fractures. The goal of surgical treatment is to restore the shoulder's normal anatomy and allow early motion through firm fixation.…”

“…A fracture with a large fragment of greater than 3 Â 3 cm can be treated with screwing, whereas in small fragment and comminuted fractures, suture anchor fixation is preferred. 4 The rarity of this pathology is caused by the combination of rotator cuff avulsion fracture and traumatic inferior glenohumeral dislocation. In this study, we describe how to manage this pathology, step by step, while performing the simultaneous closed reduction technique and the arthroscopic procedure using a suture bridge technique for rotator cuff avulsion avulsions.…”
