The incidence of AFFs in our prefectural area was 1.43 cases/100,000 persons/year. This study suggests that the onset of ST AFFs have greater correlation with the worse bone quality, vice versa, the onset of DP AFFs correlated with the bone geometry. The developmental mechanisms of AFFs may differ significantly between ST and DP fractures.
