We describe a method of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures which has been newly developed to reduce the frequency of early complications. Two cannulated screws are inserted in the axis of the femoral neck to reach into the subchondral bone of the femoral head. The screws are inserted over guide pins and the tip of the screw is self-tapping and designed to provide good anchorage in the femoral head. We used this method in 44 consecutive patients in a prospective study with no exclusions, followed for a minimum of 24 months. All fractures healed within 12 months, and there were no cases of early loosening or nonunion. In four cases, late segmental collapse had developed during the mean follow-up period of 30 months.
