ABSTRACT:
A device for stabilizing and correcting deformations of the spine being surgically mountable over the vertebrae and having substantially the shape of a rectangular frame that extends over the length of the vertebrae to be corrected. The device includes two elongated rigid members kept in a spaced apart relationship by rigid curved members on the approximate ends and spacer members in between. The curved members are mounted at a position that is slightly separated from the ends of the elongated members and in cooperation with hook members that are positioned on the outer periphery of the elongated members receive tying wires that secure the vertebrae to the frame maintaining the former in the corrective configuration.
