Abstract: The invention relates to an implant for the insertion between vertebral bodies (2) of the spinal column, having a first contact surface (9) for the disposition on one of the adjacent vertebral bodies (2), and a second contact surface (10) for the disposition on the implant part (3, 4) comprising the other adjacent vertebral body (2). At least one elastically flexible component (11) is disposed in the force transmission chain formed by the implant part (3, 4) between the disposition surfaces of the adjacent vertebral bodies (2).

Abstract: An implant (1) for insertion between vertebral bodies of the spinal column as a spacer for intervertebral disks removed from the spinal column, vertebrae, or vertebrae portions, comprises a first implant part (2) and a second implant part (3), which can be displaced relative to each other in the direction of the coaxial longitudinal axes thereof for changing the length of the implant (1), and further comprises an attachment plate (5a, 5b), which can be connected at the free end of at least one of the two implant parts (2, 3) in an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis using means for detachable fastening. The attachment plate (5a, 5b) has a basic circular shape (8), wherein the basic circular shape (8) is modified at the circumference by superpositions of substantially circular plate extensions (9, 10) having different diameters and/or different degrees of overlap with the basic circular shape (8).
