Abstract:
1. A fixing device, comprising: a connecting part structured to connect to a linking member, wherein the connecting part comprises: a conformable elongate ligature for securing the connecting part to the bone, wherein the axial passage of the connecting part is configured for receiving a portion of the linking member and two portions of the conformable elongate ligature, wherein the central slot of the connecting part is configured to allow a median part of the conformable elongate ligature to pass through and define a loop external to the connecting part, wherein the two lateral slots of the connecting part are configured to allow two free ends of the conformable elongate ligature to pass through and be disposed between the wall of the axial passage and the portion of the linking member; and an adjustable locking means having a movable mechanical member positionable opposite the central slot of the connecting part, wherein dimensions of the axial passage are adjustable by operation of the movable mechanical member, and wherein tensioning the conformable elongate ligature allows a controlled relative mobility between the bone and the connecting part holding the linking member in place.
