Fractures/ Occult, Humeral Fractures/ Proximal, Humeral Greater Tuberosity
Conditions
Keywords
occult, proximal humeral neck fractures, greater tuberosity, shoulder dislocation
Brief summary
Patients with greater tuberosity fractures is becoming increasingly common, as is the number of cases of humeral surgical neck fractures. This study investigated the relationship between size of greater tuberosity fragment and occurrence of humeral surgical neck fractures by using CT or MRI tests.
Detailed description
Some humeral surgical neck fractures can be detected through X-ray of shoulder in patients with greater tuberosity fractures. However, some fractures can not be find through conventional X-ray in such patients unless broader CT or MRI tests are required to confirm diagnoses of humeral surgical neck fractures.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCT and MRI
For such patients, using CT and/or MRI to find if existing humeral surgical neck fractures.
