The Fixateur interne developed originally for the treatment of thoracolumbar and lumbar spine fractures. Also it can be used for a variety of spinal disorders. A prospective study has been carried out and the first 10 patients have been reviewed. The early results of those patients with thoracolumbar and lumbar spine fractures are excellent. The fixator has provided rigid stabilization for rehabilitation of paraplegic patients.
