Highlights ■ Observer experience improves radiographic measurement reliability. ■ Spine surgeons and radiologists exhibited the highest intra-class correlation coefficients. ■ The cervical sagittal vertical axis showed the greatest inter-observer variability. ■ Standardized training may enhance measurement consistency. ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the intra- and inter-observer reliabilities of cervical sagittal radiographic measurements performed by evaluators with varying levels of clinical experience. Methods: This study analyzed lateral cervical radiographs from 14 patients who had undergone single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Four […]

OBJECTIVE: To propose a new system for classifying proximal humeral neck fractures, and to evaluate intra- and interobserver agreement using the Neer system that is the most commonly used in the area and the Arbeit Gemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen system created by an European group, and a new classification system proposed by the authors of this study. METHODS: A total of 56 patients with proximal humeral fractures were selected, and submitted to digitized simple radiography in antero-posterior shoulder and scapular profile. […]
