    Re: greater tuberosity fracture

    that would be a great management but don't forget the unaffected side since our goal here is for independent. Strengthen also the unaffected side..

    Smile Re: greater tuberosity fracture

    hi friend
    thanks for the replies.
    it was a type 1 non displaced fracture.so the orthopaedic surgeon suggested only 3 weeks of immobilization in sling.
    now the range improved and we are continuing with self assisted exercise olt.now its the post injury 5th week .
    flexion is around 120 degree
    abduction in scapula plane- assisted-150 degree
    assisted external rotation -30 degree
    started with scapula stabilization exercise.
    low load isometrics to shoulder musculature

    suggestions are appreciated
