A vertebral column implant for the elastic stabilization of motion segments including an elastically bendable connecting element which can be passed through the seats of a number of pedicle screws having offset seat axes and be anchored. The connecting element is bendable elastically about every axis of its cross-section in such a way that the connecting element can be passed through, or inserted in, the seats of the screwheads, one behind the other, even when the seats are not situated on one and the same axis.
