Technique of tuberosity repair. The tuberosity fragments are reconstructed horizontally around the neck of the prosthesis with two suture cerclages. These go through a hole at the medial neck of the prosthesis and the subscapularis and infraspinatus tendons. In the vertical plane, a cerclage in a figure-of-8 technique reduces the tuberosities to the shaft a, b
