Correct Answer » A Explanation

The line marked by a red arrow in the picture above represents line of Klein.

The line of Klein describes a line along the superior edge of the neck of the femur. It is useful in detecting early slipped capital femoral epiphysis in adolescents. The line should normally intersect the lateral part of the superior femoral epiphysis. If the line of klein fails to intersect the epiphysis during the acute phase, it is called Trethowan’s sign.
