ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device comprising at least one intervertebral implant (3) and at least one plate (4,5) that is to be connected to the intervertebral implant (3) and an adjacent spine (21-23). The intervertebral implant (3) is connected to at least two spaced-apart plates (4,5). One end of both plates (4,5) respectively forms a fixable joint along with the intervertebral implant (3). Preferably, at least one of the plates (5,4) is embodied in a Z-shaped or L-shaped manner. The inventive device provides for great adaptability to the anatomic characteristics of the spinal column and a modular structure while the number of parts is kept small.
