A leg-holder, which maintains a constant position of the head, neck, and trochanter during operation, and is capable of rotating them to a horizontal plane, simplifies the insertion of any fixative, whether it be nail, bolt or screw. 3. 3. A method of inserting a screw through a small skin puncture, obviating the need for an extensive incision, is described. 4. 4. A method of using the fluoroscope so that a guide-wire, nail or screw, may be inserted under full vision, without risk to the operator, is shown.
