Acromial impression fracture of the greater tuberosity with massive rotator cuff tear: this need not be a nightmare!

Amr Fahmy¹, Nick Antonakopoulos, Amer Khan.

Abstract

An avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus with associated rotator cuff tear is rare. The authors describe the unusual case of a shoulder injury with an isolated, displaced greater tuberosity fracture associated with a massive rotator cuff tear. Due to the rotator cuff dysfunction, this patient presented with significant functional loss.
