Cow-hitch-suture cerclage for fixation of the greater tuberosity in fracture RTSA
Background: The treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures in the elderly with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is an established treatment option. Healing of the greater tuberosity (GT) is associated with better outcomes. It was the aim of this cadaver study to compare the stability of GT r...
