<p>A temporary spine fixation device for application to the spine of a patient comprising an alignment plate (2) having top and bottom surfaces for temporary attachment to a pair of adjacent vertebrae (v) on a body, a pair of surgical screws (5), a fixation plate (3), and a pair of nuts (4). The alignment plate (2) has a means for preventing the plate (2) from moving transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the plate and the spine. It also has a pair of openings (7) spaced from each other a distance such that the openings (7) open onto adjacent vertebrae (v). In addition, the alignment plate (2) has a predetermined angle formed therein so as to position adjacent vertebrae (v) at said predetermined angle. The pair of surgical screws (5) are adapted to pass through the pair of openings (7) in the alignment plate (2) and to screw into the adjacent vertebrae (v) of the patient, over the openings (7) in the alignment plate (2).</p> |
