A femoral stem 2 for artificial hip joint is provided that is capable of tightly fixing a greater trochanter and is suitable for treatment of transcervical fracture where it is necessary to fix the greater trochanter. The femoral stem 2 comprising: a stem member 20 including a distal part 21 of the stem member which is inserted in a medullary cavity of a femur and fixed therein and a proximal part 22 of the stem member which has a neck 26 for fixing an artificial head and is positioned at a proximal end of the distal part, the distal part and the proximal part being integrated or separable; a plate fixing portion 36 which is detachably attached at a top of the proximal part; and a greater trochanter plate 3 for depressing the greater trochanter 71, the greater trochanter being fixed to the plate fixing portion 36 at a certain angle or fixed to the plate fixing portion so as to adjust an angle. Since the greater trochanter plate 3 is fixed onto the femoral stem 2 of the present invention, the greater trochanter is tightly fixing and thus the fixation can be stabilized. Furthermore, since the greater trochanter plate 3 is fixed at the top of the proximal part 22, the greater trochanter plate 3 covers the top of the greater trochanter 71 when the greater trochanter 71 is fixed. Therefore upward displacement of the greater trochanter by a gluteus medius musculus can be effectively suppressed.
