The Research About the Function of the Rotator Cuff After Humeral Greater Tuberosity Fractures

January 26, 2026 updated by: Guo Jialiang

Correlation Study of the Effect of Humeral Tuberosity Fractures on Rotator Cuff Function

The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the differences in fracture block and rotator cuff function in patients with rotator cuff injuries due to greater tuberosity humerus fractures. Some patients with combined humeral tuberosity fracture and rotator cuff injury can achieve better fracture healing with preservation of acceptable rotator cuff function after 6 months of conservative treatment and rehabilitation. However, other patients require surgery to improve rotator cuff function and relieve shoulder pain and other complications. In this study, two types of patients were followed up at different time points to find out the change of rotator cuff function of the patients. In addition, this study will measure the data related to the fracture bone block on a three-dimensional model created using CT, by which obtaining more accurate measurements than two-dimensional.

Patients treated conservatively
All patients had a combined humeral tuberosity fracture with rotator cuff injury, all had CT data, and were treated conservatively
Other: without intervention
without intervention,just retrospectively review the data about patients
Patients treated surgically
All patients had a combined greater tuberosity humerus fracture with rotator cuff injury, all had CT data, and were treated surgically
Other: without intervention
