Shoulder joint should be reduced first (most probably under anaesthesia) and decision about greater tuberosity can be taken after checking X-ray/CT
Knee arthritus can be dealt after shoulder settles, physio/steroid injection/replacement depends on your symptoms and stage of arthritis
Next Steps
Consult local orthopaedician

When did you suffer the injury. As per the report, there is one fracture in shoulder alongwith dislocation of shoulder.. Knee x ray suggests osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.. Knee part can be dealth secondarily but shoulder part needs urgent treatment..
Next Steps
You need to visit a nearby hospital immediately to get the shoulder joint reduced and plan for Greater tuberosity fracture as per its position.
Since, the injury appears to be more than 2-3 days old now, there is a possibility that closed reduction won't be possible. Sometimes surgical treatment may be required..
Health Tips
Use a shoulder Immobilizer support.. that will help in reducing the pain. You can also do ice fomentation locally..
