Abstract
Greater tuberosity of the humerus malunion is relatively uncommon, and open techniques are the treatment of choice in most cases. Recent advances in arthroscopic techniques for treatment of greater tuberosity fractures have produced promising results. The use of arthroscopic techniques for the treatment of proximal humerus malunion, however, has been reported only rarely in the literature. This case report describes the malunited greater tuberosity fracture treated arthroscopically using the suture-bridge technique.
