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

摘要

BackgroundAccurate comprehension of the normal humeral morphology is crucial for anatomical reconstruction in shoulder arthroplasty. However, traditional morphological measurements for humerus were mainly based on cadaver and radiography. The purpose of this study was to provide a series of precise and repeatable parameters of the normal proximal humerus for arthroplasty, based on the three-dimensional (3-D) measurements.
