What is a nondisplaced fracture involving the greater tuberosity? nondisplaced fracture//the bone cracks with the broken peices still in alignment. Tuberosity//knoblike process. Process// prominant projection. There are many tuberosities on many of our bones. When you say greater, I assume it is in the femur, the "Greater Trochanter"? The femur has a gluteal tuberosity below the Greater Trochanter. Either way its a cracked bone where the tuberosity is or was.
Gliding joints are found between the radius and the scaphoid.
