Classification and treatment of proximal humerus fractures: inter-observer reliability and agreement across imaging modalities and experience

Kappa values do not adequately describe agreement properties when comparing two methods. As described by Altman and Blant, agreement should be evaluated using repeatability coefficients. This is well described in the literature but it is a shame very few use it.
