The use of the Dilops “diverging screws” plate allows the orthopaedic surgeon to synthesize lateral femoral neck fractures with a sharp-cut mininvasive incision which assures great efficacy and mechanical stability. This system is based on the load force transfer from the femoral head to the strong diaphyseal cortex of the femur; it allows the reduction at minimum of the lever arm between the axial load and the anatomical axes, which characterize every osteosynthesis device.
