a Proximal femur with inserted stem (red: fracture gap, green: cerclage wires). Position A was proximal and position B distal to the lesser trochanter. Position C was 20 mm proximal to the distal end of the fracture gap. b Marker positioning of the corresponding measuring point (MP) on the fractured proximal femur: MP 1 was at the level of the lesser trochanter, while MP 3 was 10 mm proximal to the distal end of the fracture gap, and MP 2 was exactly in the middle of MP 1 and MP 3
