From: Modification to Mirels scoring system location component improves fracture prediction for metastatic disease of the proximal femur

Fig. 4

Polar plots of location-based strength fraction (LBSF) at the four axial levels for stair ascent loading. Legend: Mean (solid line) and standard deviation (dashed lines) for the 10 models at each axial/angular lesion location are shown. Anterior (A), Posterior (P), Medial (M), and Lateral (L) anatomic directions are indicated. Red, yellow, and green shaded regions correspond to the three LBSF ranges used in the modified Mirels location score. A heat map of the LBSF distribution on a proximal femur is shown to the right
