Said elongated implant members () are rotatably coupled to a central body () for rotation in a central plane (essentially parallel to said upper and lower surfaces. Further, a) said first and second elongated implant members () comprise each an inner end portion () which comprises a segment of a toothed wheel () with gear teeth () and with an axis of rotation () essentially orthogonal to the central plane of the intervertebral implant; and a free outer portion (); and whereby said free outer portions () of said first and second elongated implant members () are rotatable around the axis of rotation () of the segment of a toothed wheel () of their respective inner end portions ().
