Compliance with ethical standards
:
: Each author declares that they have no conflict of interest.
: This study, approved by the local ethical committee (EKNZ, ID 2017-01076), was conducted according to the current version of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki.
: There was no patient consent given. The further use of the radiographs that were already made is ethically sound. A signed consent would be difficult to acquire due to the high number of subjects. Although it is a single center study the patients are coming from all over Switzerland. This is also a reason why it would be difficult to get a signed consent. However, the data was of course made anonymous and untraceable.
