Table 3. Total number of fractures per anatomical sites and according to the fracture management.
| Fracture sites | Total population | Operative group | Non-operative group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distal femur: | 17 | 15 | 2 |
| - Supra-condylar | 11 | 1 | |
| - Metaphyseal | 3 | 1 | |
| - Condylar | 1 | 0 | |
| - | |||
| Distal tibia: | 13 | 4 | 9 |
| - Ankle | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| Proximal tibia: | 10 | 4 | 6 |
| - Metaphyseal | 1 | 3 | |
| - Plateau | 1 | 3 | |
| - Complex articular | 2 | 0 | |
| Proximal femur: | 9 | 8 | 1 |
| - Cervical | 3 | 0 | |
| - Intertrochanteric | 2 | 0 | |
| - Subtrochanteric | 3 | 0 | |
| Diaphyseal femur | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| Diaphyseal tibia | 4 | 3 | 1 |
| Foot (metatarsal fracture) | 1 | 1 | 0 |
When grouping fractures per bones, that is to say femur or tibia localizations (the unique foot fracture was excluded), the exact Fisher's test indicates that femoral fractures are more likely operated (P<0.001).
