Fig. 1From: Reproducibility of the modified Neer classification defining displacement with respect to the humeral head fragment for proximal humeral fracturesModified Neer classification. The modified Neer classification defines displacement of the fragment as separation of more than 1 cm or angulation of more than 45° from the humeral head fragment. a 1-part fracture. The humeral head stays together with the other segments. b 2-part fracture. The humeral head with the tuberosities is rotated to the humeral shaft. c 3-part fracture. The humeral head is separated from the humeral shaft and greater tuberosity. d 4-part fracture. The humeral head is displaced from the other 3 segmentsBack to article page
