Abstract
A vertebral attachment system and method for retaining a spinal vertebra () on a rod () employ a device () including a body () for attachment to the rod, a flexible strip () for linking the vertebra to the attachment body and a means () for adjustably locking the flexible strip on the attachment body. The attachment body () is made of a single part having a U-shaped cross-section, for passing the rod between the bottom wall () of the U and the adjustable locking means. The adjustable locking means () consists of a linking part () connecting the opposite ends of the two arms () of the U, arranged such as to compress the rod against the wall. The arms () each include a recess () opposite thereof, located on the bottom side of the U, for passing the two ends of the strip between the bottom and the rod in order to form a loop for attachment to a vertebra.
