Greater Tuberosity Fractures: Does Fracture Assessment and Treatment Recommendation Vary Based on Imaging Modality?
Clinical orthopaedics and related research 20160121 5
<h4>Background</h4>For greater tuberosity fractures, 5-mm displacement is a commonly used threshold for recommending surgery; however, it is unclear if displacement can be assessed with this degree of precision and reliability using plain radiographs. It also is unclear if CT images provide additional information that might change decision making.<h4>Question/purposes</h4>We asked: (1) Does interobserver agreement for assessment of the amount and direction of fracture-fragment displacement vary ...[more]
