Open Fixation of Displaced Greater Tuberosity Fractures Yields Similar Patient-Reported Outcomes to Acute Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair at 2 Years: A Matched Cohort Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate and compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after isolated greater tuberosity (GT) fracture fixation versus acute rotator cuff repair (RCR) at a minimum of 2 years.

Methods

Patients who underwent isolated GT fracture fixation were compared in a 1-to-3 fashion with patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR for an acute rotator cuff tear by a single surgeon from January 2006 and to July 2018. Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. PROs were compared pre- and postoperatively as well as between groups (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES], General Health Short Form-12 Physical Component [SF-12 PCS], Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation [SANE], Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand [QuickDASH], and satisfaction).
