The invention provides an improved spinal fixing particularly suited for fixing by wires to the spine so as to provide a number of fixing locations for a support member or rod which extends along the spine. In particular, the fixing is in the form of a flat white cylinder base with two upright elements extending therefrom so as to define a channel between them. The channel has parallel sides in its upper portion, and a semi-cicular profile in its lower portion, with the channel extending through the fastener from one side to the other. A slot for receiving a wire for fixing to the spine is provided perpendicular to the slot. The fixing is easier to fix and re-tension compared with prior art techniques.
