From: Compared to X-ray, three-dimensional computed tomography measurement is a reproducible radiographic method for normal proximal humerus

Fig. 3

Morphological measurements of the proximal humerus. a NSA 1  = α + 90°; α = angle between plane 1 and HSA. b NSA 2  = angle between line 1 and line 2; line 1 was perpendicular to anatomic neck; line 2 was parallel to the long axis of the humeral shaft. c HHT 1  = perpendicular distance from point F to plane 1; TSH 1  = perpendicular distance from point H to plane 2. d HHT 2  = the longest perpendicular distance between head surface and anatomic neck; TSH 2  = perpendicular distance between two lines. e cASD 1  = distance between C and D; aASD = distance between I and J. f cASD 2  = length of anatomic neck. NSA neck shaft angle; HAS humeral shaft axis; HHT humeral head thickness; TSH tuberosity-to-articular surface height; cASD articular surface diameter in the coronal plane; aASD articular surface diameter in the axial plane
