Arthroscopic Revision Repair of Displaced Greater Tuberosity Fracture

Recurrent displacement of a greater tuberosity fracture fragment after an attempt at open reduction internal fixation is a rare but troublesome complication. This can lead to persistent pain, stiffness, lack of overhead function, and the possible need for revision surgery. Benefits of an arthroscopic revision surgery are numerous and include improved visualization of the fracture fragments, minimal soft tissue disruption, ability to address concurrent glenohumeral joint pathology, and decreased blood loss. This technique highlights the unique scenario of performing an arthroscopic revision greater tuberosity fracture repair to a pre-existing lateral humerus plate.
