Parameter Conventional Conventional + 3D
Kappa Agreement Kappa Agreement ∆ kappa p value
Characteristic

 Medial hinge displacement > 2 mm 0.38 (0.05-0.70) Fair 0.62 (0.24-1.00) Substantial 0.24 (-0.26 to 0.74) 0.34
 Metaphyseal extension > 8 mm 0.00 (-0.18 to 0.17) Slight 0.16 (-0.02 to 0.33) Slight 0.16 (-0.09 to 0.40) 0.20
 Surgical neck fracture 0.22 (-0.16 to 0.59) Fair 0.54 (0.10-0.98) Moderate 0.33 (-0.25 to 0.90) 0.27
 Anatomic neck fracture 0.13 (-0.09 to 0.34) Slight 0.42 (0.17-0.66) Moderate 0.29 (-0.03 to 0.61) 0.08

 LT displacement > 10 mm -0.11 (-0.23 to 0.02) Poor 0.11 (-0.05 to 0.28) Slight 0.22 (0.01-0.42) 0.04
 GT displacement > 10 mm -0.01 (-0.15 to 0.13) Poor 0.13 (-0.14 to 0.40) Slight 0.14 (-0.16 to 0.45) 0.36
Fracture pattern
 Neer classification 0.13 (-0.01 to 0.27) Slight 0.05 (-0.04 to 0.13) Slight 0.08 (-0.25 to 0.08) 0.32
 Hertel classification 0.09 (-0.02 to 0.20) Slight 0.06 (-0.01 to 0.19) Slight 0.03 (-0.18 to 0.12) 0.68

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.
