Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate the inter- and intra-observer agreement of the Weiss and Milch classification systems in radiological studies of fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in pediatric patients.
Methods: An agreement study was performed with non-probability sampling of consecutive cases with a sample size of a hundred radiological studies, which were evaluated by three experienced orthopedic surgeons and three resident physicians; following a thorough comparison of both inter- and intra-observer agreements over a six-week period based on the Fleiss' kappa, which was used to determine the inter- and intra-observer agreement rates of both classifications.
Results: The overall reliability of the entire group of evaluators for the Milch classification in the inter-observer evaluation was κ = 0.
