Data related to the fracture: location: uni- (U) or bilateral (B); diagnostic procedure: standard radiographs (XR), CT scan, MRI and bone scintigraphy. Preoperative status: visual analogue score (VAS), analgesics consumption (narcotic, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and minor analgesics) and ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLS) using a 5-point scale. At follow up, the time of follow up (months), VAS, analgesics consumption and, ability to perform ADLs.
