Depending on whether the fracture is displaced or not, there are two types of fixation: conservative and surgical. The greater tuberosity of the humerus is part of the rotator cuff stop of the shoulder joint, which can cause avulsion fracture due to the pulling of the rotator cuff ligament after trauma. If there is no obvious displacement of the tuberosity after the fracture is examined by radiographs, it can be fixed conservatively, and the main fixation method is to suspend the upper limb, which can be done by using a triangular towel or a forearm sling. If the radiographs show significant displacement of the fracture, surgical fixation is required. Surgery may be minimally invasive with arthroscopic fixation of the shoulder, or it may be performed through incisional reduction and internal fixation. Internal fixation materials can be chosen such as absorbable screws or countersunk nails to prevent any impact on shoulder function. Once there is a fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for medical examination and regular treatment under the guidance of the doctor, in order to prevent the sequelae such as limitation of shoulder joint movement.
