Fig. 3

Representative CT images showing the RAC (d1), RLC (d0) and RPC (d2) of the RACL in patients with an A1 fracture (A) and in patients with an A2 fracture (B). The RAC, RPC, and RPC (red line) in A1 fractures were significantly longer than those in A2 fractures. Patients with A2 fractures involved the posterior wall fragment. RAC: remnant anterior cortex, RACL: remnant axial cortical length, RLC: remnant lateral cortex, RPC: remnant posterior cortex
