An osteosynthesis device comprising an intramedullary nail which can be inserted into the medullary space of the femur and which is provided with an axially displaceable screw (2) for the neck of the femur and an axially displaceable pin (3) for the neck of the femur, securing fracture fragments, in relation to each other, against rotation around the longitudinal axis of the screw (2) for the neck of the femur. In order to stabilize the repair, the device is provided with a connecting means (4) which is arranged in such a way that it is free from the intermedullary nail (1) and which interconnects the screw (2) for the neck of the femur and the pin (3) for the neck of the fermur in the region of the lateral ends thereof.
