The authors have treated 56 cases of fracture of the femoral neck using an original method. Three curved elastic nails were introduced into the head and neck through the greater trochanter. The results appear to be encouraging. The main advantage of the technique is minimal disturbance of the intra osseous vascular system of the head resulting in a low rate of avascular necrosis. The stability of the fixation has been studied from the biomechanical point of view. In many cases, the reduction obtained is improved immediately preceding the nailing.
