Abstract
A rod-shaped implant for stabilizing bone structures, in particular the spinal column includes a rod-shaped implant having a rod-shaped member with a first end and a second and a longitudinal axis. The rod-shaped member is at least partly made from a plastic material exhibiting flexibility and includes a longitudinal bore. A reinforcing rod is accommodated in the bore and is made from a material which is more rigid than the material of the rod-shaped member itself. The reinforcing rod is slidable in the bore.
