Aims
Study the utility of radiographic parameters in predicting functional outcomes of proximal humerus fractures.
Background
Treatment of proximal humerus fractures remains controversial, with limited studies on radiographic predictors.
Methods
Radiographic parameters (CCD, Y-scapular angle, HHH) measured for 114 patients; ICC used for reliability analysis; ROC analysis for sensitivity and specificity cutoffs.
Results
Strong intra/interrater reliability (ICC > 0.9); OSS correlated with final Y-scapular angle with an AUC of 0.611; identified a cut-off for poor outcomes.
Conclusion
Radiographic predictors are reliable tools for assessing fracture outcomes and planning interventions.
Lessons Learnt
Radiographic assessments guide prognosis but require consistent methodology.
