The invention relates to an implant for refixation of the greater trochanter(9) on which an osteotomy has been performed or which is fractured. The implantcomprises a plate (1) that can be fixed on the proximal femur, and a device (20)that can hold the greater trochanter (9) with a form fit or force fit on the femur(2). This holding device (20) preferably has bendable prongs (16, 17) locatedat a distance from each other, the first end portion of these prongs (16, 17) beingattached to the upper edge (37) of the base plate (1). The holding device (20) alsohas flexible, elongate members (21, 22), each of which is attached at one endto the free end portion (19) of the respective prong (16, 17). The other, free endportions (142) of the longitudinal members (21, 22) are secured laterally onthe base plate (1) after these longitudinal members (21, 22) have crossed themedial aspect of the greater trochanter. This results in a tensioning band constructionwith at least two restraints based on a plate fixed securely on the proximal lateralfemur.
