Abstract
A wire-holding frame developed for sublaminar segmental instrumentation (SSI) has been used at the authors' institution for 14 years. In addition to careful technique of sublaminar wire passage, the frame reduces the risk of potential neurologic injury after wire passage by keeping the wires taut against the undersurface of the lamina. Operative efficiency is increased by organizing the sequence of the wires. The risk of glove perforation is also reduced by keeping the sharp ends of the wires away from the operative field.
