External spinal fixation system

Definition

An assembly of devices designed to stabilize adjacent segments (i.e., vertebrae) of the spine. It typically consists of an external plastic and/or metallic fixator and other external and/or implantable components, such as plates, rods, pins, and bone screws; it may also include some instruments appropriate for attaching the implants (e.g., screw drivers, wrenches, drills). The system is intended for temporary immobilization of segments of the spine in patients with fractures of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine and also for some patients suffering of segmental instability or chronic back pain. This is a reusable device.
