Long bone segment note: When an entry is made into the L1 table – in the example entries for a left and right femur – the application validates the entry made. In this case a three character binary array is expected indicating the presence or absence of the proximal, shaft and distal thirds of the bone, e.g. 101, 111, 010, 110, 011.
