Abstract
The invention relates to a vertebral column implant for intercorporal fusion on the vertebral column, consisting of a body which consists of bone material and which is curved in the direction in which it extends longitudinally. The size of the implant is adapted to the intermediate vertebral space available between adjacent vertebrae after the intermediate vertebral body has been removed.
