Figures & data
Figure 1. The distance was measured along the axis of the shaft, from where the fracture meets the lateral cortex to the most prominent tip of the lesser trochanter. A. Fracture of the subtrochanteric region. B. Fracture of the shaft region.
Figure 2. Density plot of the distribution of atypical fractures along the shaft (thick gray line). The distribution can be best described as 2 separate Gaussian distributions. Each fracture is shown as a vertical line above the distance axis.
