Nonoperatively treated infraglenoid tubercle avulsion
【Abstract】Infraglenoid tubercle avulsion fractures are extremely rare injuries. We report a 38-year-old male with glenoid cavity fracture and infraglenoid tubercle avulsion of the left shoulder following a fall from bike. He refused surgery and was treated nonoperatively. Follow-up radiography and...

【Abstract】Infraglenoid tubercle avulsion fractures are extremely rare injuries. We report a 38-year-old male with glenoid cavity fracture and infraglenoid tubercle avulsion of the left shoulder following a fall from bike.
He refused surgery and was treated nonoperatively. Follow-up radiography and CT at 18 months revealed a malunited infraglenoid tubercle with signs of early
glenohumeral osteoarthritis. He did not have shoulder instability or pain and had a fair-good functional outcome. There are no previously published data on the anatomic
outcome of nonoperatively treated displaced infraglenoid tubercle avulsion fractures based on CT.
