Abstract

An intervertebral implant is provided for insertion between a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body defining an intervertebral space. The implant includes a first anchoring part for anchoring at the first vertebral body, a second anchoring part for anchoring at the second vertebral body, and a joint configured to connect the first and second anchoring parts together. The joint includes a first joint part carried by the first anchoring part, and a second joint part carried by the second anchoring part. The implant further includes at least one restoring device adapted to exert a restoring force on the first or second joint part. The restoring force of the at least one restoring device transfers the first or second joint part from a deflected position back to a normal position and/or limits movement of the first or second joint part away from the normal position.
