Ten cases with humeral greater tuberosity fractures were treated using tension band wiring. According to Neer's classification there were 3 cases of type IV and seven type VI cases. All cases achieved bony union. The postoperative JOA shoulder scores averaged 90.6 points (range: 73-100).
We concluded that this method is reasonable and useful for treatment of humeral greater tuberosity fractures.
