The fixation of displaced greater tuberosity fractures with 5-0 Fiberwire, Fiberwire tape, and 5-0 Ethibond sutures was compared in 12 pairs of cadaveric humeri. A simulated fracture was created and fixed with suture in a figure-of-eight pattern. The tuberosity was cyclically loaded and its displacement measured. There was no statistical difference in fixation stability between the three suture types.
