Fracture pattern
 Neer classification 0.13 (0.06-0.20) Slight 0.11 (0.05-0.17) Slight 0.02 (-0.11 to 0.07) 0.67

A kappa value less than 0 indicates poor agreement; a ∆ kappa value less than 0 indicates that agreement for conventional imaging with 3D models is lower than conventional imaging only; LT = lesser tuberosity; GT = greater tuberosity.
