In this study, we describe a morphological classification
for greater tuberosity fractures of the proximal humerus. We divided
these fractures into three types: avulsion, split and depression.
We retrospectively reviewed all shoulder radiographs showing isolated
greater tuberosity fractures in a Level I trauma centre between
July 2007 and July 2012. We identified 199 cases where records and
radiographs were reviewed and included 79 men and 120 women with
a mean age of 58 years (23 to 96). The morphological classification
was applied to the first 139 cases by three reviewers on two occasions
using the Kappa statistic and compared with the AO and Neer

Introduction and objectives. High-energy pelvic fractures are life-threatening injuries. Approximately 15% to 30% of patients with high-energy pelvic injuries are hemodynamic unstable, hemorrhagic shock remains the main cause of death in patients with pelvic fractures, with an overall mortality rate from 6% to 35%. The correlation between fracture pattern and mortality in polytrauma with pelvic fracture has been previously investigated. However, the purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the relationship of hemodynamic instability with the pelvic fracture pattern according to different
