Abstract
An implant for insertion between vertebral bodies of the spinal column, with a main body which is formed along a longitudinal axis and at least one end of which an attachment plate with a contact surface for attachment to an adjacent vertebral body is disposed, which plate is mounted on main body pivotably about a pivot axis, arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and which can be fixed at an angle relative to it or relative to the longitudinal axis. The main body is assigned at least one clamping element. The attachment plate has a clamping surface on a side facing the main body, and the clamping element is movable between a pivot configuration, in which the attachment plate is pivotable, and a clamping configuration, in which the angle and thereby the attachment plate are fixed by an interaction of the clamping element with the clamping surface.
