Fracture in the greater tuberosity of the right humerus.
No dislocation is seen.
Case Discussion
Humeral greater tuberosity is the place where three muscles of the router cuff attached, so the fracture here limits the shoulder stability and movement.
This fracture generally happens in traumatic injuries, car accident and fall and in a dislocated shoulder.
