| Abstract: |
| Infraglenoid tubercle avulsion fractures are extremely rare injuries. We report a 38-year-old male
with glenoid cavity fracture and infraglenoid tubercle avulsion of the left shoulder following a fall from bike. He refused surgery and was treated nonoperatively. Follow-up radiography and CT at 18 months revealed a malunited infraglenoid tubercle with signs of early glenohumeral osteoarthritis. He did not have shoulder instability or pain and had a fair-good functional outcome. There are no previously published data on the anatomic outcome of nonoperatively treated displaced infraglenoid
tubercle avulsion fractures based on CT. |
