Trabeaculae are aligned in which stage of fracture neck femure -
* The degree of displacement, in Garden's classification, is judged from change in the direction of medial trabecular stream of the neck, in relation to the bony trabeculae in the weight bearing pa of the head and in the corresponding pa of the acetabulum. 1) stage 1:There is an obtuse angle laterally at the trabecular stream. 2) stage 2: Trebeculae between head and neck are broken out they are in alignment with each other and with trabeculae in the acetabulum. 3) stage 3: All three trabeculae are out of alignment. 4) stage 4: Acetabular and head trabeculae are in alignment but head and neck trabeculae are not aligned.
