PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the air permeability of a heat-deformable orthopedic fixing material containing a thermoplastic resin, to make it difficult for cracks to be generated in a bent portion at the time of deformation, to prevent peeling even when attached, and to reduce the weight. Try. SOLUTION: The fixing material 10 for orthopedic surgery adopts a structure which is composed of a wire rod 11 containing a thermoplastic resin and a filler, and is formed into a mesh structure by interlacing the wire rod 11. Since it has a mesh-like structure, it has a larger void as compared with a conventional plate-shaped fixing material for orthopedic surgery, and has improved breathability and reduced weight. Since the wire contains not only the thermoplastic resin but also the filler, the strength is improved as compared with the case where the thermoplastic resin is used alone. When the orthopedic fixing material is pasted, the wires softened by heating become entangled with each other on the pasting surface, so that they are difficult to peel off. [Selection diagram] Figure 1【課題】熱可塑性樹脂を含む加熱変形可能な整形外科用固定材について、通気性を改善し、変形時に屈曲部に割れが生じにくくし、貼り合せた際にも剥がれにくくし、かつ軽量化も図る。【解決手段】整形外科用固定材１０として、熱可塑性樹脂とフィラーとを含む線材１１からなり、その線材１１が交絡することで網目状の構造に形成されている構成を採用する。網目状の構造であるため、従来のプレート状の整形外科用固定材と比較して空隙が大きく、通気性が向上し軽量化が図られる。線材が熱可塑性樹脂のみならずフィラーを含む構成としたため、熱可塑性樹脂単体からなる場合と比較して、強度が向上している。整形外科用固定材を貼り合せると、貼り合せ面において加熱により軟化した線材同士が絡まり合った状態となるため剥がれにくい。【選択図】図１
