“…varies between the studies (Table 1). In many studies, no fracture gap was left after the osteotomy, in order to simulate a stable fracture pattern (Brand et al, 2014;Frisch et al, 2015;Griffiths et al, 2015;Hoffmann et al, 2014;Konstantinidis et al, 2017;Lehmann et al, 2010;Lenz et al, 2012aLenz et al, , 2012bLenz et al, , 2016aLever et al, 2010;Pletka et al, 2011). Other studies implemented a fracture gap (where the femur was not fixed as if anatomically reduced, and a gap was left between the fracture), typically below the tip of the hip stem prosthesis; fracture gap implemented ranged from 5 mm to 20 mm (Choi et al, 2010;Giesinger et al, 2014;Graham et al, 2015;Griffiths et al, 2015;Gwinner et al, 2015;Konstantinidis et al, 2010;Lochab et al, 2017;Sariyilmaz et al, 2014;Shah et al, 2011).…”
