Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

the purpose of this study is to assess functional and radiological outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of isolated displaced greater tuberosity fractures (more than 5mm displacement) in adults advocating modified hook wiring with a follow-up period of one year.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

after being informed about the study and potential risks, all enrolled cases giving informed consent will undergo fixation of their fractured greater tuberosity, then physiotherapy. patients will be followed up till full union, clinical and radiological follow up for at least one year utilizing approved clinical scores and radiological criteria for healing. any complication will be recorded.
