Schematic illustration of type A fractures. a1) Typical M fracture = isolated metaphyseal fracture through the surgical neck or as high pertubercular M fracture. a2) Vertical M fracture = isolated metaphyseal fracture coming from the anatomic neck proceeding lateral from the lesser tuberosity to distal medial through the metaphysis. b) G fracture = isolated fracture of the greater tuberosity. c) L fracture = islolated fracture of the lesser tuberosity. d) MG fracture = metaphyseal fracture and fracture of the greater tuberosity. e) ML fracture = metaphyseal fracture and fracture of the lesser tuberosity. f) MT fracture = metaphyseal fracture and fracture of both tuberosities.
