Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation With a Knotless Double-Row Construct Provides Good Results for Displaced Greater Tuberosity Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to describe the functional and structural outcomes of the arthroscopic 4-strand, knotless, double-row construct with suture tapes for the surgical treatment of displaced and/or comminuted greater tuberosity fractures of the humerus.

Methods

Patients were enrolled between December 2012 and January 2018. The main inclusion criteria were a comminuted and/or displaced tuberosity fracture with a displacement of at least 5 mm in any plane fixed under arthroscopy using a 4-strand, knotless, double-row construct. The technique involves reducing the displaced fragment with 2 medially placed, transtendinous anchors and compressing the greater tuberosity using the tapes from these medial anchors in 2 laterally placed anchors. The exclusion criteria w
