A morphovolumetric study of head malposition in proximal humeral fractures based on 3-dimensional computed tomography scans: the control volume theory

This study regards a volumetric analysis of proximal humeral fractures. The main purpose was to investigate the head displacement in relation to the shaft and its link to volume reductions ( “bone loss”) of the anatomic segments interposed between the head and the shaft: the tuberosities and the calcar. We call this area “control volume.”
