Chi-square p <0.0001;
p=0.0006;
both p=0.13 for comparing proximal to distal in each age group;
25% failure time was 45 month;
25% failure time was 80 month;
Chi-square p <0.09 comparing proximal location in early onset vs adult onset;
Chi-square p<0.0001 comparing distal location in early onset vs. adult onset
