Abstract:
An intervertebral implant having a three-dimensional body (10) and a securing plate (1). The three-dimensional body (10) includes an upper side (1) and an underside (2) which are suitable for abutting the end plates of two adjacent vertebral bodies, a left side surface (3) and a right side surface (4), a front surface (5) and a rear surface (6), a horizontal middle plane (7) between the upper side (1) and the underside (2), and a vertical middle plane (12) extending from the front surface (5) to the rear surface (6). The three-dimensional body further includes a plurality of boreholes (9a) passing through the body (10), which are suitable for accommodating longitudinal fixation elements (20). The intervertebral implant also includes a front plate (8) displaceably disposed as an insert with the front side (5) of the three-dimensional body, the front plate (8) having a plurality of boreholes (9) in which the longitudinal fixation elements (20) can be anchored, and whose openings overlap with the openings of the boreholes of the three-dimensional body (10). A securing plate can be fastened essentially parallel to the front plate (8) at the three-dimensional body (10) in such a manner that the boreholes of the front plate (9) are covered at least partly by the securing plate (18). By virtue of the configuration of the intervertebral implant, a rigid, firm connection between the intervertebral implant and the longitudinal fixation elements used to fasten it, is possible.
