Fixation of dislocation of shoulder joint with fracture of greater tuberosity

Shoulder joint dislocation with greater tuberosity fracture often occurs in the current cases of anterior dislocation of shoulder joint, manual reduction is generally preferred. When manual reduction is successful, most of the greater tuberosity fracture can be reduced at the same time. At this time, overshoulder plaster or overshoulder splint or neck-wrist sling fixation can be selected for further conservative treatment. Because the greater tuberosity is the tendon attachment point, if the greater tuberosity is still displaced upward or overturned more than 0.5cm after the shoulder dislocation is reduced, it often needs surgical open reduction, screw or rivet internal fixation, which is beneficial to early exercise of the shoulder joint and recovery of function. After 3 weeks of cervical wrist sling suspension fixation, shoulder joint rehabilitation training can be performed.
