[The role of Gardner's classification in the detection of dislocation in femoral neck fractures].

Abstract

As the literary data are contradictory, authors examined in 489 operated femoral neck fractures the significance of Garden's classification. Based on their material it was found that this classification gives help in the judgement of the single fractures and in the choice of the adequate treatment. For a more exact assessment however they think the consideration of the lateral Roentgenograms also necessary.
