Core Tip	Isolated fractures of the lesser tuberosity of the humerus in adults are extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported so far in the literature. The optimal treatment method of these fractures is still a matter of debate. Herein, we present a case of a 39-year-old man with an isolated lesser tuberosity fracture who was treated surgically in our institution. Due to fracture comminution, a two-level reconstruction technique with headless screws and buttress plate was applied. As far as we know, this method of fixation of this type of fracture has not been previously described in the literature.
