  1. Fractures that were classified as “not able to classify” and paediatric fractures are included in the total numbers in the “All fractures” column
  2. Row number two displays the number and percentage of cases for each AO/OTA group within that AO/OTA type
  3. a953 fractures were classified as “not able to classify” and 76 fractures were classified as paediatric fractures and they are included here in the total number
  4. bFor high- and low-energy injuries, data are not shown for cases where this variable was registered as “unknown” or “not applicable”
