Characteristics of incomplete and complete atypical femoral fracture (AFF). A) incomplete AFF can be diagnosed when an anterior-posterior radiograph of the femur shows a transverse fracture line appearing in a bump at the thickened lateral cortex (arrow); B) incomplete AFF is suspected when the radiograph shows thickened lateral cortex but no obvious fracture (arrow); C) the suspected incomplete AFF in Fig B is confirmed by positive isotope bone scan (arrow); D) complete AFF is a complete transverse fracture located in the femoral diaphysis.
