- Type I:
- nondisplaced frx: < 2 mm of displacement of frx frags;
- Type II: two part fractures:
- IIA: Two part transverse femoral fracture;
- IIB: Two part spiral frx w/ lesser troch attached to prox frag;
- IIC: Two part spiral frx w/ lesser troch attached to distal fragment;
- Type III: three part fractures:

which has an inferior spike of cortex of varying length;
- implant failures and non-unions are common;
