Based on the number of fragments, the fractures were divided into four subtypes. The cephalocervical segment and shaft segment were two consistent fragments. a The PLF in the subtype3-fragmentary S is relatively small. b In the subtype 3-fragmentary M, the PLF is moderate, and its fracture line propagated to the lateral border of the LT. c The PLF in the 3-fragmentary L involved a substantial portion of the GT and LT as a whole piece. d The LT was separated from the PLF and the shaft fragment as the fourth fragment in the subtype 4-fragmentary GL
