Carofino and Leopold review the Neer four-segment classification for proximal humerus fractures. The review covers the system's derivation from 300 surgical cases, its displacement criteria, its reliability data, and where it falls short as a prognostic tool. The question it answers: does the Neer classification reliably predict outcomes and guide treatment in 2013?
