An external trochanter splint, especially for surgical stabilization of femoral pertrochanter and subtrochanter fractures, comprises a pair of clamps (2,3), each with its own longitudinal axis (a, b), one for movably locking a first group of bone screws or bolts (V) inserted into the mass of the trochanter, the other for movably locking a second group of bone screws or bolts (W) inserted into the proximal diaphysis of the femur. The two clamps are connected together in side-by-side relation via an intermediate connecting member (4). A selected angle of divergence (a) between the longitudinal axes (a, b), and a selected angle of rotation of at least one of the said clamps (3) about its own longitudinal axis (b) are immobilized. Intermediate member (4) comprises a central body (21) connected to clamps (2,3) via a pair of rotatable joints with corresponding axes of rotation (c, d) which are substantially at right angles.
