Inter-observer reliability of alternative diagnostic methods for proximal humerus fractures: a comparison between attending surgeons and orthopedic residents in training.
Conclusions: 3D models can substantially improve diagnostic agreement for proximal humerus fractures evaluation among experts or resident physicians. The holography showed good agreement between the experts and can be a similar option to x-ray and tomography in the evaluation and classification of these fractures. The observers' period of experience did not improve the diagnostic agreement between the image modalities studied.
