Detecting Occult Proximal Humeral Neck Fractures Through CT and MRI Tests of Patients With Greater Tuberosity Fractures

March 27, 2018 updated by: Hebei Medical University Third Hospital

Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University

Patients with greater tuberosity fractures is becoming increasingly common, as is the number of cases of humeral surgical neck fractures. This study investigated the relationship between size of greater tuberosity fragment and occurrence of humeral surgical neck fractures by using CT or MRI tests.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Some humeral surgical neck fractures can be detected through X-ray of shoulder in patients with greater tuberosity fractures. However, some fractures can not be find through conventional X-ray in such patients unless broader CT or MRI tests are required to confirm diagnoses of humeral surgical neck fractures.
