Abstract

Single-row fixation with two inverted mattress stitches was used to treat displaced fracture of the greater tuberosity of the proximal humerus. The inverted mattress sutures were passed through the bone–tendon junction of the fragment by suture passer and crossed over the bone fragment, locking the suture ends into the lateral cortex. Level of evidence Therapeutic studies, Level V.
