## Abstract Proximal humerus fractures are common injuries. Knowledge of local anatomy is paramount in the evaluation and treatment of these injuries. Information regarding humeral head vascularity, fracture patterns, bone quality, and overall geometry have direct implications for nonoperative trea
The reliability of the Neer classification of proximal fractures of humerus was examined by determining the agreement between pairs of observers using weighted kappa statistics. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 100 surgical neck fractures were grouped independently by four observers. A low
