Delphi method consensus on radiographic characteristics influencing management decisions for proximal humerus fracture
Consistent with prior research, we identified dislocation, head split fracture, topographical parts, and displacement of parts as important features guiding management decisions for PHF. Our results also distinguish head shaft angulation, head shaft translation, head impaction, and bone quality as key PHF features that are relevant when making treatment decisions. We anticipate that these results can provide a foundation for future research efforts to identify patient subgroups and evaluate comparative treatment outcomes for PHF.
