The femorotibial angle (FTA) of the patients with atypical diaphyseal femoral fracture were significantly larger compared to that of those with not only atypical subtrochanteric fractures (AFFs) but also typical femoral fractures (TFFs). In conclusion, the fracture sites of AFFs are associated with the standing lower limb alignment, while those of TFFs are not.
