Irreducible acute anterior shoulder dislocation due to rotator cuff tear and associated fracture of the greater tuberosity: A method of open reduction and rotator cuff repair

Irreducible Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Associated With Displaced Fracture of the Greater Tuberosity: An Analysis of Seven Cases

“…Aiyenuro and Zadeh reported a case with a combination of a greater tuberosity fracture, a rotator cuff tear, and a supraspinatus avulsion with a Hill-Sachs lesion repaired using the McKenzie approach. They concluded that this method made exposure and repair easy (13). Although their case was more complicated than our cases, our results showed there was no difficulty performing the procedures using the deltopectoral approach.…”

Isolated Avulsion of the Tendon of Insertion of the Infraspinatus and Supraspinatus Muscles in Five Juvenile Labrador Retrievers

“…According to the human medicine literature, avulsion of the tendon of the infraspinatus is generally caused by severe trauma, and surgical intervention represents the treatment of choice. 11,12 Conversely, supraspinatus tendinous avulsions are reported to have either a traumatic or degenerative origin and represent the most common form of a rotatory cuff tear reported in human medicine. [8][9][10] Rotatory cuff tears are very common in adult patients, while in the adolescents these injuries are related either to significant trauma or overuse and are most often treated surgically.…”

“…7 In human medicine partial supraspinatus tendinous avulsion affecting the myotendinous junction is the most common form of rotator cuff tear, [8][9][10] but in spite of this infraspinatus and supraspinatus avulsions are also poorly described in humans. [11][12][13] To our knowledge, there is only one previous case report concerning the infraspinatus insertion avulsion and no publication concerning the supraspinatus insertion avulsion in the juvenile dog. 7…”

Axillary artery injury after an anterior shoulder fracture dislocation and “periosteal sleeve avulsion of the rotator cuff” (SARC). Case report and review of the literature

“…This is not the case on the humeral side. The closest presentation of this type of periosteal avulsion was described in relation to an irreducible shoulder dislocation with a posterior periosteal sleeve and cuff tear [2] with no vascular injury. There have also been reports of adolescent rotator cuff tears causing irreducible shoulder dislocations in high energy trauma [28] as well as glenohumeral interposition of the cuff after skiing accidents, although no periosteal hinge were found to be intact [20] .…”
