"33B3: frontal/coronal"
"33C: complete articular, the fracture is distributing the joint surface and separated from the diaphysis"

"The AO/OTA classification of distal femoral fractures is a commonly used fracture classification system in orthopaedic trauma."
"In the AO/OTA classification system, the distal femur system's prefix is 33, indicating the femur (3) and the distal portion of the femur (3) 1. Each long bone has a single number with the parts of the bone denoted numerically: the proximal end is 1, the diaphysis is 2, and the distal end is 3."
