These breaks are often associated with fractures of the greater tubercle as well
as compression fractures of the inferior lip of the glenoid fossa . Compression
fractures on the anteromedial aspect of the head of the humerus are infrequently

These fragments usually consist of the head , lesser tubercle , greater tubercle
and the shaft , reflecting the old epiphyseal plate scars ( Norris 1992 ) . Fractures
of both tubercles produce fractures at either anatomical or surgical neck .

The mechanism of injury includes forces applied to the greater trochanter along
with torsion to the femoral shaft ( DeLee 1984 ; Kyle 1992 ) . The activity of the
abductor muscles on the greater trochanter and the iliopsoas on the lesser ...
