Greater tubersority fracture (anterior). how long to heal, no surgical route? i'm a powerlifter, will i be back at full strength, also any future risks?

Greater tuberosity: Greater tuberosity fractures often need to have a ct scan to determine the amount of displacement. If the displacement exceeds 5mm, i would consider operative fixation, especially at you age. If less than 5mm, i'd treat it conservatively with close follow-up.
