Abstract
Twenty femoral neck fractures treated with three crossed modified Knowles pins (Gouffon pins) were compared to 20 fractures treated with three parallel pins. All patients had survived for more than 2 years after operation. The groups were comparable concerning Garden stage, reduction, and age. No significant difference concerning the failure rate was found.
