## Abstract Suture anchors and screws are commonly used for fixation of humeral greater tuberosity (GT) fractures in either arthroscopic or open surgeries, but no biomechanical studies have been performed to compare the strength of fixation constructs using these two implants. This cadaveric study
In the subtrochanteric region of the femur high tensile forces are active in the lateral cortex and even higher compressive forces in the medial cortex. Subtrochanteric fractures are often comminuted. The implant of choice for osteosynthesis of subtrochanteric femoral fractures is the condylar plate
