Abstract
The present invention relates to a vertebral fixing system adapted to be mounted on a vertebra of the spine to connect it to a rod. The fixing system comprises: a connecting part adapted to face the rib and/or the transverse process and to be connected to the rod; an elongate flexible ligature adapted to connect together the connecting part and at least one rib and/or one transverse process; and an adjustable locking screw fastened to the connecting part and adapted to fix simultaneously in position the connecting part relative to the rod and at least one portion of the ligature relative to the connecting part, so as to prevent relative displacement of the rod and the vertebra in opposite directions.
