Neer's Classification
Neer's Classification
A classification system used for proximal humeral fractures, categorizing fractures based on the number of displaced parts.
Undisplaced Fractures
Undisplaced Fractures
80% of proximal humeral fractures are categorized as this, indicating minimal or no displacement of the bone fragments.
Displacement Distance
Displacement Distance
In Neer's classification, a displaced bony piece is when it is this far from another bone.
