a For patients with bilateral fractures only one side was counted (i.e., bilateral fractures were counted as one fracture not two).
b Open fractures are included in the overall fractures column.
c The percentages listed in this column are the percentages of patients with each fracture, as opposed to the percentages of fractures that are of a particular type (e.g., there was a skull fracture in 8.23% of evaluations, where skull fractures were 6.09% of all fractures).
d The percentages listed in this column are the percentages of fractures that were open (e.g., 40% of patella fractures were open, but open patella fractures occurred in only 0.32% of evaluations).
