The present invention relates to a device for fixing and adjusting the position of the spine in spinal surgery, which comprises two interdigitated substantially rod-shaped implant elements. In order to lock the implant elements together, the device (1) also includes four generally parallel elongated elements (B, C, D, E) extending into a plane passing through two of them, their The ends are generally located at the corners of a parallelogram, preferably a square. The ends of the elongated elements are joined to each other in pairs by means of mutually parallel partial hoops (7, 9; 8, 10) bent outwards from the ends of the elongated elements, wherein at the ends of the elongated elements A pair of partial hoops (7, 9) at one end are perpendicular to the pair of partial hoops (8, 10) at the other end of the elongated element, wherein each pair of partial hoops attaches the rod-shaped implant element (5, 6, 11a, 17) and each adjacent intersecting rod-shaped member, wherein those sides (13, 14, 13', 14'; 15, 16, 15', 16 ′) are substantially flat and substantially parallel to respective opposing sides of adjacent elongate members when fixing and adjusting the position of the spine.
