capital intracapsular fracture - image?


the diagram that I have to look at for understanding the location of
capital, subcapital, and transcervical fractures of the femus

has labelled subcapital fracture above the transcervical fracture.

The description of capital fracture is fracture of head of the femur,
and the description of subcapital fracture is just below the head of the femur.

Is there an image or diagram that anyone can share?
I've tried looking on Google, but so far I haven't found one.

thanks
