An intervertebral stabilization implant and an intervertebral stabilizer insertion tool are disclosed. The implant is inserted between the posterior peripheral regions of two vertebral bodies, and has elements allowing the insertion tool to position the implant and remove the implant if necessary, and a portion to receive bone-growth inducing material after the implant is in place. The insertion tool has elements for positioning the implant, and for controlling the depth of the implant.
