Summary

This study looks at three ways to treat a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity fracture) that also involves a rotator cuff injury. The three options are: non-surgical care, surgery right away, or surgery after a delay. The goal is to see which approach leads to the best shoulder function and recovery over 12 months. The study will include 180 adults aged 18 to 76.
