2 Fig 1 Location of fracture by cause of SCD. Proportion of fractures for MS (n=219) and SCI (n=1519). NOTE. Overall difference in distribution of fractures was significant (Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel, P<.001). Abbreviations: Ext, extremity; Fem Sft Dist, femoral shaft and distal femur; Fx, fracture; Other, includes clavicle, scapula, and unclassifiable fractures; Prox Fem, proximal femur; Tib/Fib, tibia and fibula.

3 Fig 2 Fracture rates by cause and degree of impairment. Measure fracture rates per 100 patient-years at risk among the surviving members of our cohort stratified by degree of motor impairment and cause of SCD. Abbreviation: Imp, impairment.

4 Fig 3 Time to first fracture by cause and degree of impairment. (A) Time to first fracture by degree of motor impairment. “Some” and “moderate” impairment had the shortest time to first fracture. (B) Time to first fracture by cause of SCD. Those with trauma had a shorter time to fracture than those with MS.
