Lateralization has minimal biomechanical impact on tuberosity fixation with the use of a stem-based repair and a 135° humeral implant in reverse shoulder arthroplasty for 4-part proximal humerus fracture
We hypothesized that lateralization would increase fracture gapping. Fracture gapping did not occur proximally and only occurred at a slight amount distally after 10 cycles of doubled rotational torque. This may have implications on the choice of glenoid components when performing a RSA for fracture.
