FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device for C1-C2 vertebrae front stabilization comprises an attachable metal plate including the first base, the second base, the first side generatrix and the second side generatrix. The first base is larger than the second base. The device also includes an abutment surface and an outer surface located opposite the abutment surface. The abutment surface includes the first fragment adjacent to the first base and the second fragment adjacent to the second base. The device also includes the first opening and the second opening located in the first fragment area, along the first base. The device also includes at least the third opening and the fourth opening located in the second fragment area, along the second base. The first fastener is mounted in the first opening. The second fastener is mounted in the second opening. The third fastener is mounted in the third opening. The fourth fastener is mounted in the fourth opening. The first fragment is completely congruent with the front surface of C1 vertebra. The second fragment is completely congruent with the front surface of the C2 vertebra body.
