Perspectives on the management of humerus fractures due to gunshot trauma: an inter- and intra-observer agreement and reliability study
… date and only few retrospective case studies on gunshots of the humerus were available. Interobserver agreement studies reported low levels of intra- and inter-rater reliability (IRR) for the classification of proximal humerus fractures using Neer and AO/OTA classification. The complexity of the …
