An alignment guide for use in femoral head surgery. The guide includes a support arm and a cannulated rod supported by, and adjustable with respect to, the support arm. The guide also includes two jaws. The jaws include a superior jaw and an inferior jaw. Each jaw has a proximal end connected to the support arm and a distal end for clamping to the neck of the femur in use. At least one of the jaws is movable from a first open position to a second clamping position. A toothed block is located on the inferior jaw as a biting element on the inferior jaw to improve, in use, the clamping of the jaw with the neck of the femur.
