Abstract

See full text

With the invention, tubular support bodies for bridging two adjacent vertebrae are shown. Two cages (1, 2) which are placed one within the other are provided with cut-outs, and each of them has a support flange (5) at the outer end face (6). A first cage (1) has at least three radially projecting protrusions (7) at its jacket (9a) which can be introduced into three axially extending lead-in channels (8) or a multiple thereof in the jacket (9b) of the other cage (2) in order to be able to reach latch-in positions (10, 11, 12) of different depths.
