At least one of the first and second support elements has a contact surface, wherein an angle of the contact surface relative to the central load bearing member and the adjacent vertebrae is adjustable for abutting at the adjacently arranged vertebrae. After adjusting the angle of the contact surface, the first and second support elements are fixedly connected to the central load bearing member.
