Garden II is a category in the Garden classification system for femoral neck fractures. It describes a complete fracture of the femoral neck that is not displaced on imaging. In plain terms, the bone is broken all the way through, but the main pieces still line up. It is most commonly used in hip fracture assessment on X-rays in emergency and orthopedic settings.

Garden I is a category in the Garden classification for femoral neck fractures (hip fractures). It generally describes an incomplete or valgus-impacted fracture that is not displaced. In plain terms, the bone is cracked near the top of the thigh bone, but the pieces have not shifted apart. It is most commonly used on hip X-rays to describe fracture severity and guide next-step planning.

A Gamma nail is a metal rod placed inside the thigh bone (femur) to stabilize certain hip-area fractures. It is most commonly used for fractures near the top of the femur, close to the hip joint. It works as an internal support that holds broken bone segments in a functional alignment. It is typically inserted during orthopedic trauma surgery using X-ray guidance.

Gaenslen test is a hands-on physical exam maneuver used to help assess pain coming from the sacroiliac (SI) joint region. It gently stresses the pelvis by moving the hips into opposite positions. Clinicians commonly use it when evaluating low back, buttock, hip, or groin-area pain. It is usually one part of a broader musculoskeletal exam, not a stand-alone diagnosis.

The FABER test is a common physical exam maneuver used to assess hip and pelvic pain. FABER stands for **Flexion, ABduction, and External Rotation**—the positions placed on the tested leg. It is often performed in orthopedic, sports medicine, and physical therapy settings. Clinicians use it to help localize symptoms to the **hip joint** or the **sacroiliac (SI) region**.

The FADIR test is a hands-on physical exam maneuver used to evaluate hip and groin pain. FADIR stands for **Flexion, ADduction, and Internal Rotation** of the hip. Clinicians commonly use it in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy settings. It helps assess whether hip motion reproduces symptoms suggestive of intra-articular (inside-the-joint) irritation.

Frog-leg view is a specific X-ray position used to image the hip joint. It is commonly called a “frog-leg lateral” view because the legs resemble a frog’s posture. It helps clinicians see the femoral head and femoral neck more clearly than some standard views. It is used in orthopedics, sports medicine, emergency care, and pediatric hip evaluation.

Frog-leg lateral is a specific X-ray view used to image the hip joint. It gets its name from the leg position, which resembles a “frog-leg” posture. It is commonly performed in radiology departments, urgent care, and orthopedic clinics. Clinicians use it to better see the femoral head and neck from the side.

The Frank-Starling mechanism describes how the heart automatically pumps more blood when it fills with more blood. In simple terms, a fuller heart contracts more strongly—up to a point. Clinicians use it to understand changes in blood pressure, heart output, and fluid status. It often comes up around surgery, rehabilitation, and exercise tolerance discussions.

Fracture line femoral neck refers to the visible break line through the femoral neck, the narrow “bridge” of bone between the femoral head and the femur shaft. It is most commonly used in radiology reports and orthopedic notes when describing hip fractures. The location and direction of this fracture line help clinicians communicate severity and plan care. It is a descriptive term, not a treatment by itself.
