The Reliability and Reproducibility of a New Revised Edelson Classification.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Edelson classification is a 3D classification of proximal humeral fractures, but there is a scarcity of application of this classification in large samples, and the accuracy of classification was also not testified. The objective of this research was to verify whether a revised Edelson classification produces satisfactory agreement for proximal humeral fracture classification in adult patients.

Methods

A total of 827 proximal humeral fractures (304 male and 520 female patients, 58.0 ± 16.2 years) were found retrospectively from January 2014 to December 2019, and classified according to the traditional and newly proposed Edelson classification. The three-dimensional CT images were processed, rotated and visualized within software. Five shoulder surgeons classified e
