Abstract
1. A simple technique of arthrodesis of the hip is described.
2. Two triflanged nails are driven across the joint. The joint is not opened. No bone graft and no extensive fixation is used.
3. Symptoms were relieved in 90 per cent of patients and bony union was achieved in 63 per cent. Backache after operation was not a problem.
4. The period of hospitalisation was short and rapid return to heavy work was common.
