Garden Classification of Hip Fractures
- Garden classification categorizes hip fractures into four stages based on displacement and completeness.
Garden Stage I
- Represents an undisplaced incomplete fracture.
- Includes valgus impacted fractures where bone fragments are pushed together.
Garden Stage II
- Denotes an undisplaced complete fracture.
- In this stage, the fracture is stable and the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position.
Garden Stage III
- Identifies a complete fracture that is incompletely displaced.
- Fragments may be slightly misaligned but not entirely separated.
Garden Stage IV
- Characterizes a complete fracture that is completely displaced.
- Bone fragments are entirely separated from each other, indicating a more severe injury.
