THE "FIXATEUR INTERNE" IN THE SPINE SURGERY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The "Fixateur Interne" is a new device for posterior spine surgery. It consists of long Schanz screws which are inserted from a posterior approach through the pedicle into the vertebral bodies and of connecting threaded longitidunal rods carrying mobile clamps which can be fixed in every position by nuts. The long lever arms of the Schanz screws facilitate manual reduction. The fixation can be done to the adjacent vertebrae of a lesion leaving the rest of the spine mobile. This report presents and discusses 24 instrumentations. The maen advantage is short fixation area and to maintain the desired correction.
