(A), we debride the articular-side rotator cuff and malunited greater tuberosity in the glenohumeral joint (B). Accurate
To open the rotator cuff –attached malunited greater tuberosity

Suture anchors are placed at the articular margin
Suture anchors are placed at the articular margin to create a medial row (A, B). A suture strand from each anchor in the medial row is retrieved. The PushLock anchor is advanced into the pilot
Case 1
Postoperative radiographic findings
United bone was conWrmed at 3 months postoperatively.
Case 2
a True anteroposterior radiograph and 3D CT
a Intra-articular aspect of the humeral head and subscapularis tendon with haematoma surrounding the fracture gap. b Insertion of the cranial suture anchor next to the lesser tuberosity. c Transtendinous subscapularis perforation for mattress stitch configuration. d The dislocated medial aspect of the greater tuberosity fragment is reduced using an examination hook. e The posterior transtendinous suture anchor is inserted for greater tuberosity fixation. f Transtendinous suture passage next to the supraspinatus tendon footprint, about 18 mm apart
We open the rotator cuff–attached malunited greater tuberosity using a shaver as a full-thickness rotator cuff tear under subacromial arthroscopic vision (A, B). The superior displaced
Malunion of the greater tuberosity can cause mechanical impingement on the subacromial arch

Case 2
a Fluoroscopy control of proper reduction and temporary fixation of the greater tuberosity, prior to cannulated drilling for screw insertion. b Final intra-articular aspect. c X-ray follow-up (true a.p.) at 6 weeks postoperatively: the fracture line around the distal greater tuberosity is not yet fully consolidated. d Three dimensional reconstruction of a follow-up CT-scan at 6 months postoperatively, showing anatomic integration of the fragments Case 2
Three-dimensional CT Wndings
3-D CT is helpful to classify and choice a good fixation
