- A greater tuberosity fractures make up about 20% of proximal humeral fractures and their treatment relies on accurate measurement of fracture displacement.
- The study evaluated the reliability of different radiographic measurement methods and their ability to predict displacement seen in CT scans using 49 cases of these fractures.
- Results demonstrated excellent reliability for some methods and confirmed that CT scans could be effectively used to measure various displacement types, supporting the use of radiographic indicators for treatment decisions.
