Fracture pattern
 Neer classification 0.14 (0.03-0.25) Slight 0.04 (-0.05 to 0.13) Slight 0.10 (-0.25 to 0.04) 0.16
 Hertel classification 0.14 (0.00-0.27) Slight 0.13 (0.03-0.23) Slight 0.01 (-0.17 to 0.15) 0.46

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 for conventional imaging only; LT = lesser tuberosity; GT = greater tuberosity.
