title: Arthroscopic fixation of displaced greater tuberosity fracture of the proximal humerus.
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.
