Brief description/objective

Accurate radiographic assessment of proximal humeral fractures (PHF) is important as it influences clinical decision-making and predicts clinical outcome. Since aberrant radiographic views might influence the assessment of fracture displacement, it was the goal of this study to investigate the impact of aberrant beam paths on radiographic assessment of PHF.
