Metaversion can reliably predict humeral head version: A computed tomography-based validation study

HYPOTHESIS: Circumstances occur when the determination of anatomic humeral head version is difficult. In the setting of irreparable proximal humeral fracture, there are few reliable intraoperative landmarks to determine anatomic humeral head version. This study tested our hypothesis that the metaphyseal version (metaversion) is a landmark that can assist with correct head version and used computed tomography (CT) to evaluate its reliability as …
