Abstract

See full text

A vertebral column implant for stabilization and stiffening of vertebral bodies of a vertebral column comprises first bone screws and second bone screws. First rigid connecting elements, are fixed in the first receiving means of the first bone screws. Second elastic connecting elements are fixed in second receiving means of the second bone screws. Each first connecting element is connectible to a second connecting element via coupling means. The coupling means are attached in a releasable way to a second bone screw, in which an end region of a second connecting element is held. The coupling means are connectible to an end region of a first connecting element. By means of this design, a rigid region of the vertebral column implant can be decoupled in a simple way from an elastic stabilizing region of the vertebral column implant.
