1. A method of internal fixation of displaced subcapital fractures of the femoral neck is described, and a consecutive series of seventy-one patients whose fractures were treated by this method is reviewed.

2. It is claimed that this method gives better mechanical fixation than a trifin nail and that the operation is less formidable than the insertion of a pin and plate.

3. It is suggested that with improved fixation the avascular head can be supported while revascularisation occurs.
