Minimally invasive open reduction of greater tuberosity fractures by a modified suture bridge procedure

Figure 5 Failure of steel plate treatment for a greater tuberosity fracture. A: Because of the anatomical position, it is difficult to appropriate the position of a traditional steel plate; B: The greater tuberosity became displaced due to rotator cuff traction being neglected; C: After a second operation, the fracture was fixed with screws and steel wire against rotator cuff pull, and a satisfactory result was obtained.
