Objective To summarize the research progress of the greater tubercle fixation and the rotator cuff repair in humeral head replacement.Methods The literature about proximal humerus fracture and humeral head replacement in recent years was extensively consulted and analyzed.Results The greater tubercle fixation and the attached rotator cuff repair have great influence on the function of shoulder joint after humeral head replacement. It is difficult to make an objective comparison because of lack of direct comparison between various methods, unified standards of grading, and limited number of cases.Conclusion It is an important factor of reduction and fixation of greater tubercle to obtain better effectiveness in humeral head replacement. However, one-stage repair of rotator cuff is more important than greater tubercle fixation for functional recovery of shoulder joint.
